How to programmatically click a button in WPF?

Question

Since there\'s no button.PerformClick() method in WPF, is there a way to click a WPF button programmatically?

Answer 1

if you want to call click event:

SomeButton.RaiseEvent(new RoutedEventArgs(Button.ClickEvent));

And if you want the button looks like it is pressed:

typeof(Button).GetMethod("set_IsPressed", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).Invoke(SomeButton, new object[] { true });

and unpressed after that:

typeof(Button).GetMethod("set_IsPressed", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).Invoke(SomeButton, new object[] { false });

or use the ToggleButton
