use an object array and store all the object in it.
For i = 0 to 144
hButton = New Button(me) as "button"
hButton.Tag = i
aButtons.Add(hButton)
Next
aButtons[40].Text

yes use a sql request ...
hresult = db.exec("SELECT id, name FROM mytable GROUP BY name")
''then use a listview
For each hResult
ListView1.add(hResult!id, hResult!name)
next
Public sub ListView1_Click()
print ListView1.Current.key
End

?????
i think this not depend on Gambas but on qt or gtk
