ButtonFunction

is an option for the low-level function ButtonBox that specifies the function to execute when the button is active and is clicked.

Details

The default setting for ButtonFunction causes the button to paste its contents at your current notebook selection.
ButtonFunction is used only with the setting Enabled->True, either for the individual button or for the cell that contains it.
With ButtonFunction->f, the first argument supplied to f is specified by the setting for ButtonSource, and the second argument by the setting for ButtonData.
Standard Wolfram Language precedence rules require parentheses in ButtonFunction->(body&).
Settings for ButtonFunction are often inherited from button styles via the BaseStyle option.
With the default setting Evaluator->None, the expression constructed from the button function is sent to the front end for evaluation.
