use event handler programmatically

[nikosfs]

Hello, I use the Labview 8.2.1 and I would like to ask something about event handler.

I have some buttons and I use an event handler to perform their tasks. The buttons are used only with the mouse and not programmatically.

Now, I want to use a button programmatically without pressing it. I didn't find how to do this, so I created a boolean variable and I added to the event handler of a button a second "Event Specifier" of that boolean variable with the event "value change".

I assumed that it would work, but it does not, that is, the event handler is not used when the value of the boolean variable changes.

How can I solve it?

Thank you in advance.

Write to the Value(Sgnl) property node of the variable you want to change.  This will set off an event programatically.
