Getting the parent button from an event listener? [message #446625]

I'm trying to add an event listener for a custom button...extends
button. What I want to do is have all the buttons call the same handler
but pass in themselves so that the function knows what button to operate on.

The compiler doesn't like using "this", it says that refers to the
function widgetSelected(). I tried SelectionEvent.item, but that's
null.

Any ideas on how I can accomplish this?

Thanks
MP

SelectionEvent.widget gives what you're looking for...
