GUI identify caller

I need to make a general function which will be called by many objects of my UI. However from inside this general function, I need to identify the caller of the function (which object). One solution that comes to mind is giving an id for each caller and passing it as a parameter when calling the function, but I think it's a little bit messy.

Perhaps my real question here is.. from the handles and hObject how would you know which object must be changed (and actually change it). For example the value

if you use GUIDE, then hOject is the handle of the UI object
which made the callback.

Could it be the "dbstack" function that you're looking for?
