I hate many dynamically generated object with automatic id and names like name="myname"..{I}
Are there any way to get id, for example, for object with name myname100?

You mean you want to look up a variable value using a string? That is possible using the _G symbol, e.g.
Code: Select all
name$ = "myname100"
v = _G[name$]
DebugPrint(v)

MakeButton(Nil, #LAYERBUTTON, "button"..t.."box", True, False,{OnMouseDown = p_MyFunc, name="mybutton"})
How I can get id of this button?

Like so:
Code: Select all
buttonid = MakeButton(Nil, #LAYERBUTTON, "button"..t.."box", True, False,{OnMouseDown = p_MyFunc, name="mybutton"})

I try it and then write
SystemRequest("Attention",ToString(buttonid), "OK",#REQICON_WARNING)
And it doesn't show correct id. What I am doing wrong?

Ok, you need a helper table to achieve what you want, like this:
Code: Select all
idtable = {}
buttonid = MakeButton(Nil, #LAYERBUTTON, "button"..t.."box", True, False,{OnMouseDown = p_MyFunc, name="mybutton"})
idtable[buttonid] = "buttonid"
DebugPrint(idtable[buttonid])
