How do I extract component name from component?

[Joel]

Hello,
I have a list which contains canvases, but I need to extract the canvas name as plain text from the components when they are touched. But I can't see how to do it. I tried seeing what was output I got when sinplyly imputing the canvas component to a variable but I get a long link that doesn't even contain the canvas name.

Any ideas ?

Here it is somewhat related to your concern,

Checkbox1----x name

Here is the modified code to get the name of selected checkbox [image] Once I am ready with the list of selection, I did a lookup into the dictionary to know the name of component.

Any ideas ?

You will have to make a list of the canvas names and a list of the canvas components in the same order, then when a canvas component is requested, return the name using the same index.

Yes I was afraid of that because of the amount of canvases. But I just remembered that because I named them all c then the canvas number I can just create a loop to create the list when the screen is opened.

Thanks for help.
