Invoking CallBack other than from UIR.

[NI Nubie]

The UIR has a group of 20 buttons all associated with the same callback function. There is a case statement for each button which does a bunch of stuff when that button is pressed.

Here is the question:

While accessing statemachine code I need to simulate a UIR button press. Can regular code invoke (the above)  a callback function or is that taboo? I could have a dedicated function but it would be exactly the same as the callback function.

I don't know if this is recommended or not? LabWindows might not like it?

NOTE: When executing statemachine code all the above buttons are dimmed so that they would be inactive during the invoked call to the callback function.

Thanks for any insight.

Hello - 

The function CallCtrlCallback in the Programmer's Toolbox should be exactly what you are looking for.

That did it.

Thanks Nick.

And you can also simply call it as a normal function, passing the correct
panel and control identifiers and whatever events you wish.
