simulate an event

[Maileen]

Hi,

I would like to know how to simulate an event in VB.NET ?
in fact, for example when user press enter in some special textbox, i
would like to raise a listview column click (for example).

Moreover, how to tell VB.NET that :
if user click on a button1, it is not the default button1_click() method
to execute, but another method...and maybe from another control...

i did it several times in C++...so it should exist something like that
in VB.NET.

thanks a lot,
Maileen

You can use the addhandler keyword to connect a function with an event
on the fly. The only requirement is that signatures match up.

Maileen,

This is often asked, however why raise an event as you can call the
procedure from the event itself.

By instance this
Button1_Click(s ender,nothing)

For the click there is as well performclick, however than the form should be
in showed state.

I hope this helps,

As always: I would not do that...
