Button click handler using values through UDPClient

Question

I am making a BCI system for my master thesis, and I am new to C#, so I would like to know if it is possible to click a button through a value obtained though a fx UDP client.
What I wloud like to do :
Acquirer data through MATALB -> send the data to the BCI interface made in Visual Studio WF Application -> the values clicks the button represtented by the specific value, and so forth.
It is the possibility I am seeking, I have not found any really usable online yet.
Question:
Is it possible to click a button using a value instead of mouseclick in Windows forms Application?
- Andrew have mentioned button.PerformClick()
Method, could this sovle the problem?
Thanks for answers.

You're not likely to find a webpage with an example such as you've described, no.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace CS_WinFormsSnippet
public partial class Form1 : Form
public Form1()
InitializeComponent();
Button myButton = new Button();
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
myButton.Text = @"It's Christmas at Ground Zero!";
myButton.Click += new EventHandler(myButton_Click);
myButton.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
this.Controls.Add(myButton);
System.Threading.ThreadStart ts = new System.Threading.ThreadStart(this.myButton_TimedClicker);
System.Threading.Thread t = new System.Threading.Thread(ts);
t.IsBackground = true; // makes the thread die with the process.
t.Start();
void myButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (e.GetType().Equals(typeof(ButtonClickEventArgsWithValue)))
MessageBox.Show(@"... and if the radiation level's okay, I'll go out with YOU to see all the neeeeew muuuutations on New Year's Day!");
else
MessageBox.Show(@"The Button has been preeeeessed...");
// "Christmas At Ground Zero" is a classic holiday tune by Weird Al Yankovic.
void myButton_TimedClicker()
do
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(20000); // wait 20 seconds.
this.myButton_Click(null, new ButtonClickEventArgsWithValue(2));
} while (true); // just keep going until the form is closed. don't worry, it's a background thread.
// You can still click the button on the form to see the first messagebox without the second. The second messagebox only shows up when you call the click event programmatically, using the specified EventArgs inheritor.
public class ButtonClickEventArgsWithValue : EventArgs
public Int32 eventValue = 0;
public ButtonClickEventArgsWithValue(Int32 value)
this.eventValue = value;
Would you like to know more?
