Invoke a button click event? 2

[CraigBest]

Is there a way to invoke a command button's Click event? I know this was possible in older versions of VB. Apparently you can't simply go Call CmdBtn.Click() anymore though.

Been looking through help but not finding anything useful, anyone have a tip that may help me?

Thanks

Try

CmdBtn.Click(Nothing, Nothing)

A Click event is looking for two arguments....sender and eventargs. if you are invoking the button from somewhere else, you need to pass nothign to these arguments.

Robert, thanks, that makes sense - but when I type that in I am geting an error stating "Public Event Click is an Event and cannot be called directly. Use RaiseEvent statement to raise an event."

?

Can you post a sample of your code?? I need to see what you are working with.

The method of not Click, but PerformClick:

CmdBtn.PerformClick()

Hehehe...

All this time jebenson and I don't think I have ever leveraged that method. Thank for the tip!

The correct way to call a button click from another button is:

CmdBtn_Click(nothing, nothing) and NOT
CmdBtn.Click(Nothing, Nothing).
IOW, use the _ (underscore)and not a period.

 

[SgtJarrow]

In all actuality, it should be whatever the name of the method is...So if the button click method is named as:

Private Sub ClickMeToExecuteSomeButton(obj As Sender, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Then you would call this by: ClickMeToExecuteSomeButton(Nothing, Nothing)

The method for the click of the button can be any Sub as long as it meets the parameter requirements and is assigned with the Handles (or AddHandler).

But to jebenson's post, you can execute the event without passing the Nothing arguments if you leverage the PerformClick event. Much cleaner and easier - I will have to revisit some old projects !

or, how about this crazy idea.....

Private Sub Button1_Click(obj As Sender, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Call DoSomething
End Sub

Private Sub Button2_Click(obj As Sender, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
    Call DoSomething
End Sub

Private Sub DoSomething()
     [green]'Do Something here[/green]
End Sub

Have fun.

You can also have multiple handlers and separate with commas!

Private Sub Button1_Click(obj As Sender, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click, Button2.Click
    Call DoSomething
End Sub

Private Sub DoSomething()
     'Do Something here
End Sub
