[Solved] Programmatically click an Ext.Button ??

[chalu]

How can I simulate a click on an Ext.Button, that is, code the click on the button when some event occurs instead of a user actually clicking it. How can this be possible if our target button is hidden ??

[chalu]

Any suggestions on this yet ?? I have a Ext.Button but for some reason it's got to be hidden, so the user won't see it to click on it, I've got to script the click on it when the user interacts with something they can see. It's urgent please.Thanks

myButton.handler.call(myButton.scope, myButton, Ext.EventObject())

firebug says Ext.EventObject() is not a function
I am actually using the browse button extension, it's constructor is thus

initComponent: function(){
	Ext.ux.form.BrowseButton.superclass.initComponent.call(this);
	// Store references to the original handler and scope before nulling them.
	// This is done so that this class can control when the handler is called.
	// There are some cases where the hidden file input browse button doesn't completely cover the Ext.Button.
	// The handler shouldn't be called in these cases. 
        // It should only be called if a new file is selected on the file system.  
	this.originalHandler = this.handler;
	this.originalScope = this.scope;
	this.handler = null;
	this.scope = null;
}

So I am applying your suggestion thus:

this.browseBtn.originalHandler.call(this.browseBtn.originalScope, this.browseBtn, Ext.EventObject());

This is the handler where I want to do the 'click', and this is what I have now:

   onBoxClick: function(evt, el){
    	//myButton.handler.call(myButton.scope, myButton, Ext.EventObject())
    	this.browseBtn.originalHandler.call(this.browseBtn.originalScope, this.browseBtn, evt);
    }

The onBoxClick function is attached to the click event of an Ext.Element object, I want to click the browse button when the Ext.Element object is clicked. The code in the previous post gives an error, this one just does nothing, what am I missing please

Maybe you can just disable the button and then on the click event you just have to enable it...?

I have successfully simulated click's in the past using the plain old school dom function "click()". Try grabbing your components Dom, then browse it for that function.

Post #5 is actually correct, my error is from some where else . This proves how to pro grammatically click a Ext.Button

Animal's solution did a trick for me

but

myButton.handler.call(myButton.scope, myButton, Ext.EventObject)

not

myButton.handler.call(myButton.scope, myButton, Ext.EventObject())

I found 2 ways:

1)Create the event code in a function and call the function from both sides: btn.on("clic", ...) and from the code you want to simulate the click.

2)Use: btnView.btnEl.dom.click();

See you
