B4J Question Button Click Event Data

[dieterp]

I have a button with a Mouse_Clicked event. I want to call the button's Mouse_Clicked event from another sub. What is the EventData that must be passed into that call? Below is the code:

Sub btnTest_MouseClicked (EventData As MouseEvent)
   
End Sub

Sub CallButton
   
    btnTest_MouseClicked("What goes here?")
   
End Sub

Hi.

Personally I don't like writing logic in Clicked events etc. I usually create a separate sub and call this one from my Clicked event.
Anyway. If you need to call a clicked event, then you can create eventdata and give it as a param.

Dim e As MouseEvent
   
btnTest_MouseClicked(e)

But if inside btnTest_MouseClicked you check values in EventData, then you may need to do more settings to the param you pass.

Do you use the EventData in the Mouse_Clicked event routine?
If no, you can use Mouse_Action instead.

Actually using Action instead of Clicked, has another advantage. It works also by pressing space when the button has the focus. Clicked happens only after a mouse click.
