I have 12 buttons named MB1 to MB12 in the designer. In the code I am using the Any button click function which provides the component. However this provides the component type, i.e. com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.Button@123456 not the name of the button.
How can I find out what the button that was clicked is called in the designer?
Thank you
I think, this extension can do it

Hi Taifun,
I saw that extension while searching for a solution, but it unfortunately won’t work. It has functions to get all text and all buttons, but it seems i cannot match up a button with a text. If the code is written in such a way that the order of the returned list is always the same it might work. That might need some investigation.

See this usage example
and check the method GetButtonComponentsByNameSubstring
