HELP : Calling a button Click

Hi all,

I have a little problem. Maybe you can help.

at a specified time in my Delphi Program I want to simulate a button
click. i.e. I have a timer that activates every minute, it must then
do the same thing as a click on button 1.

procedure TMain.Timer..
begin

TMain.Button1Click (Tmain)              <--- this does not work.

end.

Geert.

Try:

   TMain.Button1Click(Sender);

It should do the job...

Hi!

Try out this:

Button1Click(Button1);

or

TMain.Button1Click(Button1);

* Note this is a reply to Geert Nijs and not  really to Thomas
however, since I did not see the original message, I'm responding to
Thomas's.

The reason it does not work is because they were referencing the Type
"TMain" and not the actual object of "Main".

        Main.Button1.Click;

will work as well as what Thomas said.

         Button1.Click;

Actualy since the original code is in a method in the TMain clas, you could
just do

       Button1Click(Self);

You can't call the OnClick eventmethos of a TButton without a Sender
parameter, but since we (as mentioned) are in the TMain clas, Self is in
scope and will work perfectly, and because of the same fact, we can
eliminate the Main at the start of the line. Neat, eh?  :-)
