Gurus, I have a Winform which has a button. When the button click function
creates a thread.

I want the thread to call the button click again . I can have only one
instance of the
thread running at a time.

I want to automate testing of my function.
Any thoughts.

TIA

private void btnProcessFiles_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

Thread trd = new Thread(new ThreadStart(this.ThreadedProcessFiles));
trd.IsBackground = true;
trd.Start();
}
void ThreadedProcessFiles()
{
// how can i call btnProcessFiles_Click
}

It's not clear to me why you want to call the button click if you only
want to have one thread running at a time. Could you give more context?

UI Methods are not thread safe. Calling a UI Operation from a thread
will give you a runtime exception.
Try a BackgroundWorker (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/
system.componentmodel.backgroundworker.aspx). Also can you be a bit
more clear?

True - but calling the button click *handler* would be okay. It's not
clear there are any actual UI operations required here.
 
You want to simulate pressing the button?
Well, it could call someButton.PerformClick()? (making sure to switch back
to the UI thread first - thread-affinity 'n'all).
i.e. theButton.BeginInvoke((MethodInvoker)theButton.PerformClick);
