Automatically press a button

Question

hey
Im using jdeveloper 11.2.3
Im trying to display a graph
the graph must be based on a table
the table is based on a web service
The only thing makes sense is crating a form- making it somehow invisable and a creating button should be automatically pressid when loading the page
Does anyone know how do I automatically press on button?
(on btw- how to make a form invisible?)
Im a begginer.

Hold on, before going forward in htis direction...
Why do you use a hidden button for this? Bounded task flows can have a method from a bean as start activity. In this start activity you do whatever you have to setup the data you want to show.
No queuing of an action to a hidden button. This is not a best practice as it is not maintainable.

P.S.: To bind the button to your bean you open the property inspector of the button in the page, go to the 'Advanced' node and click the small arrow down on the right hand side of the 'Binding' property. Here you specify the bean and the property name. Then in the bean you
RichButton btnSubmitForm; // this is generated when you add the property from the inspector together with getter and setter method
ActionEvent event = new ActionEvent(btnSubmitForm);
event.queue();But you still should be using a bounded task flow with a method activity as a start activity.
