If you'll be using the same listener callback for each of the buttons, you
can either read the button's label in your listener, or add a user data tag
to each of the buttons so you can determine which button was pressed.
// warning: untested code follows...
var b1 = new qx.ui.form.Button("Basic");
b1.setUserData("search_type", "basic");
b1.addListener("execute", this._search, b1);
var b2 = new qx.ui.form.Button("Regular Expression");
b2.setUserData("search_type", "regexp");
b2.addListener("execute", this._search, b2);
_search : function(e)
{
this.debug("Label is " + this.getLabel());
this.debug("Search type is " + this.getUserData("search_type");
}
