How can I do to fire a button click event?

[Luca_80]

Hi everyone!!!

I'm trying to fire a button click event, but I'm afraid to do something bad, because my listener never catches the event (I never see the alert ).

This is what I wrote:

	    final Button myButton= new Button();
	    myButton.setSize("90px", "45px");
	    myButton.setText("PRESS ME");
	    myButton.addSelectionListener(new SelectionListener<ButtonEvent>() {
	    	public void componentSelected(ButtonEvent ce) {
	    	}
	    	public void handleEvent(ButtonEvent e) {
	    		
	    		MessageBox.alert("", "HELLO", null);
	    	}
	    });

	    EventType et = new EventType(Event.ONCLICK);
	    myButton.fireEvent(et);

Could you please give a clue to me?

Thanks a lot!!!

Regards,Luca

You never ever want to do this. Its one of the worst practices you can do. You should create a method that the listener calls and you can also call manually.

Yes I've already done so, but I was curious how dispatching events

Instead of providing a helpful response, all you do is redirect this hapless user to a place to buy premium support???!!!

this "only premium can see that" is a new "feature".

just let the button fire a Select event is not really programmatically click a button. Extend Button with following:

public void click() {
      ((ButtonElement) getFocusEl().dom.cast()).click();
   }

ah, I see

If you only call the button's handler then you miss the styling update that an actual button press would provide.
