I have a database of articles (title of article and content of article). I want to display all the articles in a dynamic text field in this way:  
For every entry, a button is created with the article’s title as its caption and the ID of the row in the database as a tag/attached value to the button. When the user clicks a button, the script attached to the button does the following:  
on (release) {  
[//1.get](https://1.get) the tag attached to the button which represents the ID of the corresponding article  
[//2.connect](https://2.connect) to the database to get the content of the article whose id is the one in (1.)  
//3. display the content in a dynamic text which represents the main display area  
}

The question is: How can I create these buttons on runtime and attach them a tag/ID/anything similar which can be retrieved later?
