Re: emulating a button click by software

[Carlos Lacasta <Carlos Lacasta ific uv es>]

Many thanks for the hack Ricardo,

It turned out that I was doing something wrong: I was "deactivating" a
radio button of a group with just 2 of them, hoping that this would
trigger the other button activation. However, I did manage to leave the
application in a fancy state, that is, what happens if none of the
radiobuttons in a group is activated ?

REgards,

Carlos
