RaiseEvent

[Brad Childs]

How do you raise the MouseLeftButtonDownEvent on a RadRibbonTab?

I have tried the following:

RadRibbonTab tmp;
tmp.RaiseEvent(new RadRoutedEventArgs(RadRibbonTab.MouseLeftButtonDownEvent));

however

RadRibbonTab.MouseLeftButtonDownEvent is of type System.Windows.RoutedEvent and RadRoutedEventArgs wants a Telerik.Windows.RoutedEvent.

I have also tried:

EventInfo eventInfo = typeof(RadRibbonTab).GetEvent("MouseLeftButtonDown");
var raiseMethod = eventInfo.GetRaiseMethod()
raiseMethod.Invoke(tmp, null);

however

raiseMethod is always null.

Is there some other way of clicking the tab programmatically?  Note, I do NOT want to use SelectedIndex or SelectedItem.  I want to simulate a mouse click.

Thanks

Hello Brad,

 Since the MouseLeftButtonEvent is the built-in silverlight mouse event, you can not raise outside of the framework element you're targeting. You may refer to this forum for more information. What I can suggest you is to use automation peers instead. So you can get the respective automation peer for the RadRibbonTab and force Selection through the peer which should behave exactly as it is clicked. 
Please let us know if this is what you need.

All the best,
