How would you do it if the buttons had
labels (text?) and no icons?
or both?

if the button had a label, I often use event.getSource() to access that button. I just don't know what to use if both label and icon are not in the button, and specifically i only used a button with icon but without label.

what does event.getSource() return?

the link is not working. e.getSource() returns the name of the member variable that caused the event(i'm pretty sure). i like it better with text on my button. i can then say e.getSource().getText(). or better yet i can use e.getActionComand()

> e.getSource() returns the name of the member variable that caused the event
the question was directed at the OP, to get him to think about what he's doing
i.e. if he can access the button when it has text, why can't he access it with no text
e.getSource().getText() is not the same as e.getActionComand(). Former gets the text of the button and later gets the string used for the command. Both are not necessarily the same.
