Problem with Data Passed to Call Back Function

[Chris <chrishax comcast net>]

Hello,


In the program below I am creating 3 buttons in a
horizontal box.  The buttons get created and labeled
properly as:

Button 1
Button 2
Button 3

When I click on any of the buttons though,
the data sent to the callback function should
be the label of the button pressed.
Instead it all shows up as:

Button 3

The button labels are stored in an array of character
pointers which appears to work find in the for loop.
Once out, if I print out the contents of the array
of character pointers they are all:

Button 3

I am guessing that I am missing some simple
problem but have been unable to find it on
my own.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Chris
