I assume this is for a button that operates on the target object which was added dynamically somehow.

What I would do instead is one of two things:

1. In the code that dynamically adds the target object, also add the corresponding button, with a reference (name or object) to the target object. e.g.

** pseudo-code
lcNewName="newName"
lcNewButton="cmdFor"+lcNewName
oForm.NewObject(lcNewName, cClass, cLib)
oForm.NewObject(lcNewButton, "yourCmdButtonClass", "yourlib")
oForm.&lcNewButton..cOperatesOn = lcNewName
* etc.

2. Add a container class with just the target object and commandbutton.
