Firing Toolbar ButtonClick Event manually

How do you fire a toolbar ButtonClick event manually (for a specified
button)?

I have a toolbar with 4 buttons on it and I want to fire one of the button
events when the user clicks a different button on the form.

The event for the toolbar looks like this...

Private Sub tbUsers_ButtonC lick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows. Forms.ToolBarBu ttonClickEventA rgs) Handles
tbUsers.ButtonC lick
Select Case e.Button.Text

Case "WhateverTheTex t"
....
....
....

End Select

End Sub
When I try to fire the event manually and pass a value for e.button.text, I
get an error "Value 'Boolean' cannot be converted to
ToolBarButtonCl ickEventArgs"

ie..

Public Sub Button
tbUsers_ButtonC lick(Me, e.Button.Text=" WhateverTheText ")
End Sub
Is there some other special way I have to specify what button event I want
fired?

Thanks!!

Why not place the code which should be executed on button click in a
separate procedure and call this procedure directly?

You cannot raise an event outside of the class it was declared in.

The problem is that you're trying to pass in a boolean expression
(e.Button.Text= "WhateverTheTex t" does not set anything in this context, it
is simply true or false) where you should be passing a
ToolBarButtonCl ickEventArgs object. Try the following...

Dim e As ToolBarButtonCl ickEventArgs
e.Button = tbUsers.Buttons (index of button to click)
tbUsers_ButtonC lick(Me, e)
