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

As Greg D said, I think that an alternative to Automation to click a button using the MVVM pattern (click event raised and command executed) is to call the OnClick method using reflection:

typeof(System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.ButtonBase).GetMethod("OnClick", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).Invoke(button, new object[0]);
