I try to do :

myBTN = w.add("button");

myBTN.name = "BTNicon";

myBTN.image = ScriptUI.newImage(this.name);

"this.name" should give the name of myBTN ("BTNicon")... no ?

Thank you

You should try this as

var w = new Window ("myWindow", "Test");
// For adding image to button you must have a folder where your image is located//
var myFolderContainingImage = 'C:/Users/sunily/Desktop/Feedbacks/';
myBTN = w.add("button");
myBTN.name = "BTNicon";
// Use folder path and extension on your file as well//
myBTN.image = ScriptUI.newImage(myFolderContainingImage+myBTN.name+'.jpg');

Thank you all, I could have been more precise !

In fact 'BTNicon', is an embed image, previously declared in my script "var BTNicon='...';"

Is there a way to solve my problem, I really need to find the name property of 'myBTN' in : 'myBTN.image = ScriptUI.newImage(this.name),' without using 'myBTN.name' (which otherwise works) ?

Send a complete code snippet and also an explanation on why do you need to use this.name itself. I am not clear why you need to use a specific syntax only.

No "this" will not correspond to the myBTN object. "this" is set to the object on whose context the current code is running. It seems that your code is not within a function hence in this case the this is set to global object. If you call a method of an object then this inside the method is set to the calling object, for ex inside a event handler this would be the object on which the event has been raised.

Have a look at the following URL for more details and examples
