Why cant I Call a sub??

Look at the following code. When I try to call a click event from within a menu event, it won't let me. What am I doing wrong?

VB Code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim openFileDialog1 As New OpenFileDialog()
 
        OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "All files (*.*)|*.*"
        If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
            MsgBox("worked!")
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub MenuItem2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem2.Click
        Call Button1_Click()
    End Sub

the code answered your question :

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
the important part in this line is "Handles Button1.Click" so obviously , the sub is attached to (the control and control event) .
no control can use its code (not quite sure but it seems like so.)

You didn't pass anything into the required parameters.

Button_Click(Me,Nothing)

You could also just add the menuitem to the handles:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click, MenuItem2.Click

sorry I was fooled by the keyword Handles .Next time I wouldn't trust these meaningless words.:D
Edneeis is definitely right ,I tried that.
