They'll get a copy of the posting.

Yikes! I change the texts on my buttons way too often for that...
In my programs, every button gets assigned its own event handling
routine.

While I was at it, I wrote a small procedure:

pro button_state_event, event
widget_control, event.id, get_uvalue=uvalue, /no_copy
uvalue.state = event.select
widget_control, event.id, set_uvalue=uvalue, /no_copy
end

I create my buttons like this:

state = 1
button = widget_button( base, event_pro='button_state_event', $
uvalue={ state:state }, value='A Button' )
widget_control, button, set_button=state

When I need the value later, I just look at the uvalue.
