You might want to store the references to the buttons in an array,
and then reference them by index. So have your menu button call a form
method when clicked (always better than putting logic in a button!),
and your form code would look something like this:
in afterInitAll:
self.quickButtons = [self.QuickButton1, self.QuickButton2,
self.QuickButton3 ... ]
...and then in the method called by menu button:
def switchButton(btnNum):
target = self.quickButtons[btnNum]
target.Caption = "Time Clock"
target.Visible = True
