Button activate other button

May 6th, 2008

I have 2 buttons on my Form.
My question is if button1 can activate button2 in any way.
Is it possible to write any code inside button1 that will execute/activate the code inside button2 ?

If the code is run from more than one event, you should refactor it into a method:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
void button1_Click(Object^ sender, EventArgs^ e)
{
  // Stuff for button 1
 
  Button2Stuff();
}
 
void button2_Click(Object^ sender, EventArgs^ e)
{
  Button2Stuff();
}
 
void Button2Stuff()
{
  // Stuff for button 2
}
void button1_Click(Object^ sender, EventArgs^ e)
{
  // Stuff for button 1

  Button2Stuff();
}

void button2_Click(Object^ sender, EventArgs^ e)
{
  Button2Stuff();
}

void Button2Stuff()
{
  // Stuff for button 2
}

You can also fire an event handler directly since it's just another method:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
void button1_Click(Object^ sender, EventArgs^ e)
{
  // Stuff for button 1
 
  button2_Click(this, EventArgs::Empty);
}
 
void button2_Click(Object^ sender, EventArgs^ e)
{
  // Stuff for button 2
}
void button1_Click(Object^ sender, EventArgs^ e)
{
  // Stuff for button 1

  button2_Click(this, EventArgs::Empty);
}

void button2_Click(Object^ sender, EventArgs^ e)
{
  // Stuff for button 2
}
