How do I automate clicking of a WB custom button?

Ayush Kumar

I have created a WB custom button using the methodology mentioned on another SO post: Custom Button WB

Now, I would like to automate clicking on this button, in my process workflow. How do I do it?

This can be done by calling the event callback directly. The Custom button is attached to a Toolbar on WB as toolbar Entries. So, first accessing the toolbar and then it's entry will provide access to the Click event callback.

Example:

custom_button_ext = ExtAPI.ExtensionManager.GetExtensionByName("CustomButtonWB")
toolbar = custom_button_ext.Interface.Toolbars[0]
button = toolbar.Entries[0]
button.Click()
