But.UserData=&normalStyle;

or

But.Misc=&normalStyle;

Is there a field reserved for arbitrary purposes like this?

Greetings!

Short answer: No, U++ is not a low level plain C library Smile

Longer answer: It can, U++ is highly customizable, so it is very easy to add any fields by inheriting. In your case, you can do something like:

class MyButton: public Button {
public:
    void * userData;
    MyButton() {}
    ~MyButton() {}
}

However, since you already have the power to add anything, I would highly recommend to avoid the generic solution and use a proper naming and specific fields/methods Wink

Best regards,
Honza
