How to Generate Dynamic Functions?

[bentraje]

Hi,

With the help of Pim Grooff's

, I have a GUI that generates buttons at run time.

My problem is it doesn't dynamic. How do I generate dynamic functions also to coincide with the dynamic buttons (along with their dynamic ids).

You can see the problem here: Button 1, 2, 3 works but not Button 4 and above.

You can check the working code here:

I modified your code to dynamically react to IDs. (Btw, it's now a script for simple demonstration).
edit: Actually, this is just shifting the problem. There's no way in python I know of to bind functions directly. (Wouldn't make sense on dynamically added Gadgets anyways, imho.)

Gotcha. Thanks for the code and confirmation.
For my code, it's not really a simple printing the ID. Each ID corresponds with a separate function/script.
I guess I'll just store them in a separate list. Separate ID list and separate function script list. Then execute them by matching index.
