New, need to fire event within procedure

[iwalkonstars]

I'm studying IT right now, so this is for my classwork. I need to fire a button click event within the menu click event procedure. Simple stuff, I'm just new, and none of this was in our reading/the teacher won't write me back. I'll keep my eye out for a word back

-Thanks bunches

I think it is something like..

Button1.ProcessClick()

something like that

oh it is:

Button1.PerformClick()

[kleinma]

if the button and menu are supposed to perform the same exact action

(for example lets say a form has a close button on it, and the menu also has a file -> close menu item on it)

you can just make the same routine handle both events by using the handles clause and using both control's click events...

    Private Sub DoAction(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mnuClose.Click, cmdClose.Click
        'PERFORM ACTIONS HERE WHEN EITHER BUTTON OR MENU ITEM IS CLICKED
    End Sub

Wow, thanks guys! Fromethius, I used your command, the btnWrite.PerformClick() specifically, and it worked like a charm. kleinma, your input was also gretaly appreciated, I just tried the easiest looking avenue first ^_^ Maybe I should demand a refund on my teacher's chunk of my tuition and start paying you guys for help. That said, I'm in the process of transferring in two weeks, for anyone thinking "Why doesn't she leave THAT school."

Thanks again
