Fire a button click event programmatically

[zhong]

Hi,

Is there a way to fire a button click event programmatically?

Many thanks,
Zhong

Might be simpler and clearer to have the button click event call a method, and simply call that method directly.

The GWT Button Widget is actually an HTML button object; it exposes
button.click():

http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/2.1/com/google/gwt/user/client/ui/Button.html#click()

But GWT CustomButtons (PushButton/ToggleButton) are really styled
DIVs, not HTML button objects, so the native click() method isn't an
option. For CustomButtons, you have to write code that invokes
whatever it is you want to do when the user clicks the button.

It works with button.click()

Thanks a lot!
