No EVENT_COMMIT when clicking Picture Command button label

Question

If I use a PICTURE COMMAND BUTTON and Left Mouse click on the text label for the button, the Button does not actuate and there is no EVENT_COMMIT, only EVENT_LEFT_CLICK. If you Left Mouse Click on any other part of the button then everything works as expected. Is this behavior expected? (LW/CVI 7 & 7.1)

Answer 1

Yes, it could. You'd need to distinguish between clicks on the label part versus clicks on the button part. You can do that by comparing the mouse coordinates of the click with the label area.
Once you do that, you can use the FakeKeystroke function to simulate a user pressing on the button with either the enter key or the spacebar key. But before you do that, you'll have to set the keyboard focus on the button (clicking on the label will eventually set the focus on the button, but only after the LEFT_CLICK event is sent to the callback).
The following code should do the trick:
GetCtrlAttribute (panel, control, ATTR_LABEL_TOP, &top);
GetCtrlAttribute (panel, control, ATTR_LABEL_LEFT, &left);
GetCtrlAttribute (panel, control, ATTR_LABEL_WI
DTH, &width);
GetCtrlAttribute (panel, control, ATTR_LABEL_HEIGHT, &height);
if (eventData1 >= top && eventData1 < top + height && eventData2 >= left && eventData2 < left + width)
SetActiveCtrl (panel, control);
FakeKeystroke (VAL_ENTER_VKEY);
