I have created 3 Buttons in a panel they all have same onclick event, now I have to find which button has called onclick event and it’s ID

k=len(lst)

#print k

j=400

for i in range(k):

j=j+20

self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON,self.OnButton2Button,id=j) # k buttons invoking same function

def OnButton2Button(self,event):

##what to code here

Can you declare j as a class variable? I.e. use “self.j” instead.

Thank you.

event.GetEventObject().GetId()/GetName()
Should do it.
You are probably not using Phoenix yet, but the documentation is
still very very usefull with 2.9.5 or even 2.8.x, just what out for
“New in version” higher then what you use.

I actually wrote an article on this subject some time ago. You can read it here:

Or you can just follow Werner’s advice which is exactly what my article is about.

Werner gave you the correct answer to the question, but I suggest using

the ID may not be the best way to solve your problem. Alternatively, you
can pass an argument on though the callback, so you know what button is
clicked:

http://wiki.wxpython.org/Passing%20Arguments%20to%20Callbacks

I find this approach more elegant than messing around with IDs

k=len(lst)
        #print k
        j=400
        for i in range(k):
          j=j+20
          self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON,self.OnButton2Button,id=j) # k buttons
invoking same function

you've got other issues here as well -- you really want to let wx assign

IDs for you, otherwise you could get ID clashes.

and, side note -- it you want every 20 numbers, you can use something like:

range(400,800,20)
