java: activating a mouse click event

Question

I have a java method activated by a mouse click on a button

 private void backButtonMouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) { do stuff }

is there some way to virtually use this method from another method without clicking the mouse on the button?

Or you can just use button.doClick();

I can see the button being clicked programatically but the function it is supposed to perform does not happen. When I click it with the mouse it does function? what am I missing?

Don't know. You must not have the proper reference to the button.

Yes, MouseEvent has public constructors, so you simply create one, and call the function with it.

I believe you can say backButtonMouseClicked(new MouseEvent()) to call the method. Or maybe backButtonMouseClicked(null).
