Hi, Im new here, I thought maybe some of you could help me with a problem. Basically Im writing automated testing for a piece of software and I need to write automated testing for the UI itself, i.e. actually testing the buttons etc. Im using D Unit (which I know isnt ideal for UI testing, but that doesnt really matter too much).

My problem is this, Ive got a form with buttons on and I need to write a piece of code to actually interact with those buttons in the way a user would (i.e. clicking them). The onclick event procedures are all private within the form so is there a good way to go about doing this that doesnt resort to making all click events public (as I cant really do that!!).

Thanks in advance.
