Um, in the interface, is there a way to edit a buttons command so it's something like DialogOption(thisbuttonscurrenttext)?

Meaning, if it's text is "Hail", it'll call DialogOption("Hail"), but if it's currently "Shop", it'll call DialogOption("Shop")?

EDIT:
I meant Text, not Name.

Just incase someone was replying, I meant it's current visible text, not name.

Just put a space after the command and then the parameter you want to pass to it

For example, to send the text "Shop" to the DialogOption verb, set the Button's command to:

DialogOption "Shop"

Then in your code:

    verb/DialogOption(T as text|null)
        switch(T)
            if("Shop")
                //Do shop stuff
            if("Hail")
                //ect

Not what I meant at all.

The button text changes at realtime, if it changes from Shop to "Work", I want it to send Work instead of Shop.

Edit:
Wait, I can just change the command it sends when I change the text, can't I?

You can use a winget() call to see what the text of the button is.

A is the object containing the button (usually src).

var/btn_text = winget(A, "this_window.this_control", "text")


btn_text would then contain whatever text the button currently shows. So, perhaps...

proc
    DialogOption()
    
        // grab the current text shown on the button.
        var/btn_text = winget(src, "this_window.this_control","text")
        
        if (btn_text == "Shop")
            return
        else if (btn_text == "Work")
            return


Note that I didn't use a parameter for this. Is this something that might be doable?

@edit : uhh...yea :D

winset(src, "window.button", "command='DialogOption Work'")


you probably know that already but just making sure.
