How can i know which button is clicked? Objective C

I am doing Presence1 in Assignment which require me builds a multiple screens application. I have two ViewController, vc1 and vc2. In vc1, i have two buttons. I use a same method for them and the title of them are same.

My question is How can i know which button is clicked in vc1 when i change to vc2?

There are a topic show me that I should get positions (x,y) of mouse when i click on button, but i think it is not quite good.

The answer above would work. If you don't want to keep outlets for the buttons you can assign them tags in interface builder. As an example, you assign button 1 a tag value of 1 and button 2 a tag value of 2. Then in the code

-(void)onButtonClick:(id)sender {
    if(sender.tag == 1) {
        //respond to button 1
    } else if(sender.tag == 2) {
        //respond to button 2
    }
}

If you have two NSButton properties such as:

@interface ViewControllerOne : NSViewController
{
    NSButton *goButton;
    NSButton *stopButton;
}

@property(nonatomic, retain) NSButton *goButton;
@property(nonatomic, retain) NSButton *stopButton;

-(void)onButtonClick:(id)sender;

@end

Then you can compare the sender with the button pointer:

-(void)onButtonClick:(id)sender
{
    if (sender == goButton) {
    }

    else if (sender == stopButton) {
    }
}

Is that what you're after?
