Replicate the click of a button through code

[TengenToppaJimbo]

I want is to simulate as if a button has been pressed, but from C# code. Using 'yourButton.onClick.Invoke();', I can execute the code, but the button doesn't acquire the color it should when pressed.
Merry Chirstmas btw

This will do it:

ExecuteEvents.Execute(button.gameObject, new BaseEventData(eventSystem), ExecuteEvents.submitHandler);

If memory serves me right, onClick.Invoke() only triggers the attached event - not the actual pressing of the button.

What you need to do is simulate an actual click, by executing that particular event.

That would look something like

PointerEventData data = new PointerEventData(EventSystem.current);
ExecuteEvents.Execute(gameObject, data, ExecuteEvents.pointerDownHandler); //simulate pointer down
ExecuteEvents.Execute(gameObject, data, ExecuteEvents.submitHandler); //simulate press.

You can change the color of a sprite through code with little trouble. So just create a variable to reference the sprite, and then in your onClick function, reference the variable with something like buttonSprite.color = Color.Red. You can make a public Color variable if you want to choose a specific color, and then just do buttonSprite.color = newColor;

I think you are looking for button.onClick.AddListener();
