An excerpt from Adam Nathans WPF Unleashed, recommended by this blog.
Imho one of the best, if not the best WPF references around.

var bap = new System.Windows.Automation.Peers.ButtonAutomationPeer(someButton);
var iip = bap.GetPattern(System.Windows.Automation.Peers.PatternInterface.Invoke)  
                            as System.Windows.Automation.Provider.IInvokeProvider;
iip.Invoke();
