[RESOLVED] programatically click a label

How can I programatically click a label? It has a Click event but no PerformClick method. Thanks...

Call the event handler directly? Or move the contents of the click event to its own method and call that.

yeah, I thought of that right after I posted. doh! :eek:

What tg is referring to is this:

Code:

---

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Me.Label1_Click(Nothing, Nothing)
    End Sub

    Private Sub Label1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label1.Click

    End Sub

However, what I would suggest is that you take the work that you are doing in the click event, and put that into it's own method, and call that method from both places, i.e.:

Code:

---

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        MyMethod()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Label1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label1.Click
        MyMethod()
    End Sub

    Private Sub MyMethod()

    End Sub

---

Hope that makes sense!
