Hey! i'm trying to simulate a button click on my application, but i got a problem :) i use gtk_button_clicked method to send a "clicked" "signal", but although i receive the event, my button doesn't "click". When i say "click" i mean "click animation" you know?! the GUI effect. I wanna to "looks like" i click on the button with mouse for example. Thanks :)

I got tired of trying to solve some of my own Gtk problems, saw yours and thought it was more interesting... LOL

Use this to simulate a button click:

GtkButton *button = gtk_button_new_with_label("Test Button");
gtk_signal_emit_by_name( GTK_OBJECT( button ), "activate" );
