Simulating button click event

[Rich Golem]

I want to programmatically simulate a button being clicked. I know a button
has a PerformClick event but this doesn't perform the visualization of the
button being pressed. If you don't know what I mean, put a button on a form
and press the enter key. On key down, the button visually changes to give
a 'pressed' appearance. On key up, the appearance changes back to normal.
How do I do this programmatically?

Rich,

Try playing with the button's FlatStyle property. I noticed that when it
is set to flat it looks like the button is pressed in. Good luck, hope this
helps.

I know this may sound farfetched but you may want to try and move the mouse
cursor to where the button is located on your form and then use api to
perform a mouse click. Although that is alot of work for doing something
very simple.
