Calling a control from another

[Gert Christensen]

I have two DigitalPanelMeters and one BasicLabel1.  When I click on one of the DigitalPanelMeters I am changing the BasicLabel1.PLCaddressEntry.  This works fine, When I click on the DigitalPanelMeter and then on BasicLabel1 it opens up and I am able to enter the data.
The problem is, that can't open the BasicLabel1 automatically when I click on one of the DigitalPanelMeters.

 Private Sub DigitalPanelMeterBlue1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DigitalPanelMeterBlue1.Click
        BasicLabel1.PLCaddressEntry = "N7:1"
        BasicLabel1_Click() '             This will not compile  (missing the "e" and and "sender" values)
    End Sub
    Private Sub DigitalPanelMeterBlue4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DigitalPanelMeterBlue4.Click
        BasicLabel1.PLCaddressEntry = "N7:3"
        CALL BasicLabel1_Click()  '                  This will not compile either
 End Sub

In VB6 I would use the "Call" function, but I am new to 2010 Express, so I am stuck.  Any suggastions?

Thanks,

I forgot to show the BasicLabel1 code

Private Sub BasicLabel1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
       
End Sub

Try passing your same sender and e objects to the button click event:

BasicLabel1_Click(sender,e)

Thanks for the reply.  However,  it still does't open. 
Right now I am changing the color on the BasicLabel1 to green,  when pressing the PanelMeter with the followin text: "Press to change value".  That is just to get going.  It would be nice if it opens by itself.
Thanks, again

I may not be understanding exactly what you are trying to do, but wouldn't it be easier to use the PLCAddressEntry in the DigitalPanelMeter to get a pop up keypad directly?
