execute script clicked

[marcel.gay@wimag.ch]

I have an animation which shows and hides a sidemenu, this can be shown or hidden with a mouse click
On the same page I have a combobox, a selection point should also open the sidemenu, that means the function like a mouse click on the sidemenu

How can I trigger a script (in this case the script under "clicked") from another element with this script?

You can't do a button click via script. But you can put your code from click in a own function and call the function instead

Unfortunately, this does not work because local variables are used
The script is with an animation from a button, but I want to trigger the function from a combo box on the same page
And if I change the function, I have to make sure that I do not forget the second change, with an external call eliminates this problem

How can I trigger a script (in this case the script under "clicked") from another (selected Line from Combobox) element with this script?

If you want to execute the same functions you can
-- define a library function in a CTRL library saved in scripts/libs
-- call the function at the Clicked event of the button
-- in the ComboBox when the item is selected

Another option would be to:

• define an event
• connect to this event
• trigger this event

The benefit of using an event is that the script context is the same regardless of from where the event is triggered.
