I had already tried that. Is there any way to get the object's name, as I
asked? I printed the output from an 'OK' button clicked:

What do you mean by "the object's name"? If you mean the name of a variable
that references the object, then no, you can't. (The long answer is that
you prbably can with efforts in limited cases, but it's a really bad idea.)

<wxPython.controls.wxButton instance; proxy of C++ wxButton instance at
_845f020_wxButton_p>

Can't you use a method of this object to see if it was the OK button?
Something like: event.GetEventObject().GetLabel() perhaps?

Or:

  if event.GetId() == self.self.choiceCodGrupo.GetId():
    ...

or even:

  if event.GetEventObject() is self.choiceCodGrupo:
    ...

Two things:

First I think I misread Magnus answer, sorry Magnus.

Second I liked more the second option above, from Robin. Much better than I
was doing. :slight_smile:

Thanks!
