Proc and arguments on button -c flag

[fcoan]

Dear Gentlemen,

I have wrote a procedure that use 3 arguments that are used inside the procedure itself to combine the flags.

           global proc lockAndKey (string $operation, int $status, string $attr)

then i want to associate the procedure to a button but it looks like there is some problem passing the values for the arguments.
It should be something like

               button -l "Translate" -w 130 -c lockAndKey lock 1 t lockTranslateB;

but I receive this error message refered to this line of code

               // Error: line 47: Invalid object or value: 1 //

I also tried putting the values betweens roud brackets but i receive another error

                  button -l "Translate" -w 130 -c lockAndKey(lock 1 t) lockTranslateB;

                  // Error: Line 47.50: Invalid use of Maya object "lock". //

some of you has any cloue how can I make it work?

Thanks in advance
F

button -l "Translate" -w 130 -c lockAndKey lock 1 t lockTranslateB;
// Error: line 47: Invalid object or value: 1 //
 
button -l "Translate" -w 130 -c lockAndKey(lock 1 t) lockTranslateB;
// Error: Line 47.50: Invalid use of Maya object "lock". //

yes well just so you know mel parses all tokens that arent subexpressions, begin with a number or are at the beginning of a statement as IMPLIED strings, separated by space so if you want to have space or a number up fornt in it you must quite it.
