Greetings all: First off, the necessary statistics: Python 2.4 using Tkinter as a GUI manager.
Now, the problem: I've got an interface that generates a number of buttons. Each of these buttons performs the same basic task over different data based on which button is clicked. In other languages, I've always been about to bind each button to one callback function which could then determine which button was clicked, and from that data grab the necessary data and perfrom the operations on that data. So, in python this is what I did. I made a class that inherits from the Tkinter.Toplevel class. This class dynamically creates its interface which contains a series of rows. On each row the following widgets appear in the following order: button, label, label, button button. Now, each of those buttons takes the information in the first label (maintained as a StringVar) and performs a similar operation upon it. I've been able to bind each button to the same callback function (that part's trivial) but what hasn't been trival is determining which button was clicked and, from this information, gathering the correct datum from the list of StringVars which make up the first label text. In other languages, I've been able to set an id on the buttons that the callback function could access and that id would be the index within StringVar array to gather the data as well as a code to determine which button was clicked. Thus, the buttons for one row could have the following ids: 0|0, 0|1, 0|2. This would refer to take the datum string_vars[0] and perform operation 0, 1, or 2 upon it. However, I cannot figure out how to create this behavior in python to date. So, what do you think I need to do? Is there an easier way?
