Simple Button Question

I have the following call from a Button1

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim strMp3 As String

strMp3 = "chop2.mp3"

Me.AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = strMp3
End Sub
This works fine as part of a larger program and the Mp3 file plays.

However, if I want to automatically push the button in the code how do
I do this?

I tried

Button1_click ()

but it complains tyhat a declaration is expected? How do I do this...

regards

Actually I think the answer is

Button1.Enabled=True

but it doesn't work! It does accept the code provided it is within
another sub.

That code isn't even VB, it's VB.Net, this is a VB6 group
you need a group with 'dotnet' in the name.

In VB6, the button event would be called if you set its Value property
to True (Button1.Value = True), but there is no Value property for
the .Net buttons. (See PerformClick method)

Classic Visual Basic (VB6 and prior) is significantly different than
the later (.Net) versions. The .Net languages have their own newsgroups
for discussions.

Try posting in: microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

As an aside, wouldn't it be easier to put the play code in a separate
routine, and then call on it as needed (from the button click, or
wherever else) ???

Um, try Button1.SetFocus. I think that works.

There's no reason to "click" the button with code. It's not as if calling
the routine is going to visually cycle the button down, then up.

Create an entirely new procedure (about 3 seconds of work) and call that
procedure from the click event and anywhere else you need it....

Then, keep in mind that, since you guys seem to be taking some kind of "VB"
class, this and all other groups on the MS server that start with
"microsoft.public.vb" are here to support pre-dotNet versions of VB....
which means, the code we post in an attempt to help will probably be VB6
code and, there's a great chance it won't work in any version of dotNet.
