Vinod, thank you for your post. I'm not sure, if I completely understood you, but I tried the following.
The visible button has now an actionListener. In this actionListener I do hidden.queueEvent(e); Where "hidden" is the hidden CommandButton (the one I want to click programmatically) and "e" is the ActionEvent of my visible CommandButton (the one that has the actionListener). When I click the visible CommandButton, the application runs in a loop, where the console repeats: "[FlowActionListener] No action event detected" over and over. Where did I get you wrong? Thanks again! :) -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: users-return-56614-matthias.leis=sid.sachsen...@myfaces.apache.org [mailto:users-return-56614-matthias.leis=sid.sachsen...@myfaces.apache.org] Im Auftrag von Vinod Krishnan Gesendet: Donnerstag, 20.
