Trigger button click from another form

Question

I have a little problem calling the button1_click event of form1 from my form2.

When I call form1.button1_click() it gives me an error saying:

Argument not specified for parameter 'e'.

How can I fix this?

Assuming WinForms, try using this:

form1.button1_click(Nothing, Nothing)

or

form1.button1_click(form1.button1, EventArgs.Empty)

The error means the procedure you are trying to run has parameters, but you left them out in your call. The click event is looking for two parameters, sender As Object and e As EventArgs.

You may also wish to try this:

form1.button1.PerformClick()

Looks like it works even if button1_click is a private method!
