>Can it be done without actually having to click on the button itself?

I don't think you can actually create the event, without using Win API calls... but, you should be able to call the objects click call... Also, I belive with that toolbar there is actually no 'button' click event, but only one for the tool bar, but the event is passed the handel of the button somehow... so you could call it..

oToolBarReference.Click( nButtonHnd )
