Is it possible to trigger an event remotely? Like push a button that runs an “Action Performed” event on another button?

It would be great if I could push a button and trigger a “Cell Edited” event on a table on the same window.

Thanks!

Mike

You can programmatically click a button component like this:`event.source.parent.getComponent("Button").doClick()`However, you can’t trigger a cell edited script to run remotely.
