Question

I’m wondering how to add more information to an event embed in a button.

For example:

okButton = ttk.Button( content, text = 'OK' )
okButton.bind( "<Button-1>", browseFile )

def browseFile( event ):
    pass

When the button clicked, I want to pass the string parameter ‘OK’ to the function browseFile, what I need to do?

Thanks

The event object has a widget member that identifies the widget that raised the event. You can get the text of that widget using the cget method:

def browseFile(event):
    buttonText = event.widget.cget("text")
    if buttonText == "OK":
        doSomeStuff()
