Does anyone know how to get the Object
source of an Event, in Dig. ie:

Button b;

//later on

with(b = new Button("1")){
    onClick(handleEvent());
    }

// later on

handleEvent(Event event){
         //now how do I get the Object source and
         // string from the button from the parameter
     }

I have made a simple calculator with 18 buttons,
at the moment I have a function to handle each buttons
event ie: 18 Event functions.

Code attached.

I'm afraid that while that was always in the plan, I never got around to it.

However, it's easy to do what you want in this case.  Just have something like this:

   class AppendFunction
   {
       char [] text; /**< Text to append. */

       this (char [] text)
       {
           this.text = text;
       }

       void event (Event event)
       {
           ed.text (append (ed.text (), text));
       }
   }

   void doView ()
   {
      int c, r = 1;

      void createNumericButton (char [] text)
      {
         with (new Button (this))
         {
            caption (" &" ~ text ~ " ");
            grid (c ++, r, 1, 1);
            sticky ("<>^v");
            bordered (true);
            onClick.add (&(new AppendFunction (text)).event);
         }
      }

      void nextRow ()
      {
         c = 0, r ++;
      }

      createNumericButton ("1");
      createNumericButton ("2");
      createNumericButton ("3");
      nextRow ();
      createNumericButton ("5");
      createNumericButton ("6");
      createNumericButton ("7");
      nextRow ();
      createNumericButton ("8");
      createNumericButton ("9");
      createNumericButton ("0");
      nextRow ();
      ...
   }

Thanks Burton!

That works great, it will also be a great help in
the future.
