On Screen Keyboard

Ok, that worked, now the next step is for the program to recognize which button is pushed. Here is the code I have so far:

def mybutton(button,state):
 global SendText, infoindex, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve
 letter = ''
 if button == send and button.get() == viz.DOWN:
  #Send the current text to the mailbox
  #Reset the text to nothing
  SendText = ''
  text.message(SendText)
  if infoindex <= 15:
   info.visible(1)
   infoindex = infoindex + 1
   one.remove(viz.BUTTON_LABEL)
   two.remove(viz.BUTTON_LABEL)
   three.remove(viz.BUTTON_LABEL)
   four.remove(viz.BUTTON_LABEL)
   five.remove(viz.BUTTON_LABEL)
   six.remove(viz.BUTTON_LABEL)
   seven.remove(viz.BUTTON_LABEL)
   eight.remove(viz.BUTTON_LABEL)
   nine.remove(viz.BUTTON_LABEL)
   ten.remove(viz.BUTTON_LABEL)
   eleven.remove(viz.BUTTON_LABEL)
   twelve.remove(viz.BUTTON_LABEL)
  elif infoindex > 15:
   text.visible(0)
   button.visible(0)
   HEAD_DEPTH = -12.5
   viz.translate(viz.HEAD_POS,0,0,HEAD_DEPTH )
   instructor1 = viz.add('male.cfg')
   instructor1.face('biohead_talk.vzf')
   instructor1.threatening = INSTRUCTOR
   instructor1.tag = 0
   instructor1.appearance = 0
   instructor1.facepic = 0 
   Instructions(instructor1)
   info.visible(0)
   #bulletinfo.visible(1)
 if viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'a') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'a'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'b') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'b'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'c') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'c'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'d') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'd'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'e') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'e'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'f') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'f'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'g') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'g'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'h') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'h'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'i') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'i'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'l') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'l'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'m') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'm'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'n') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'n'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'o') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'o'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'p') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'p'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'r') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'r'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'s') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 's'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'t') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 't'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'u') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'u'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'v') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'v'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'x') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'x'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'y') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'y'
 elif viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'z') and state == viz.DOWN:
  letter = 'z'
 SendText += letter
 text.message(SendText)

The problem I'm having is that no matter what button I push, an "a" is printed in text. Am I doing something wrong? Is it ok to use the if viz.add() to implement this? The way I see this code is that whatever button (letter) I press, that letter should be the next one to pop up. In other words, how can I access the BUTTON_LABEL attribute to use it in my if logic.

You can save the label somewhere when you assgin it.

buttonLabel = 'mylabel'
button = viz.add( viz.BUTTON, buttonLabel   )
button.label = buttonLabel

...

print button.label

I suggested something similar when you are attaching weapons to avatars.

I tried this but it gave me an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 12, in ?
  File "buttonsTest2.py", line 96, in ?
    button = viz.add(viz.BUTTON,buttonLabel)
  File "C:\Program Files\Vizard25\viz.py", line 4881, in add
    return addbutton(*args)
  File "C:\Program Files\Vizard25\viz.py", line 4102, in addbutton
    return VizCheckBox(_ipcSendHold(_VIZ_ADDCHECKBOX,scene-1,1,'',int(parent),0,0,0))
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'int'

The code should be:

button = viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,buttonLabel)

Ok, thank you. I think i found a new approach. What I did is create a button in GUI field in vizard and if I click on the button, it displays the letter I want. The question I have now is how can I put a label on the button that I created in the GUI field. Is it the same as creating a label for a button that I made using coding?
