Hello kezyclaire,

There is a sample in the following link, this sample shows finding a window and a specific button also. if you already have a button instance saved to a variable you would only need the few lines in the middle of that sample, closeButton is the variable used for the button in this case:

System.Windows.Automation.Peers.ButtonAutomationPeer peer = new System.Windows.Automation.Peers.ButtonAutomationPeer(closeButton);
System.Windows.Automation.Provider.IInvokeProvider invokeProv = peer.GetPattern(System.Windows.Automation.Peers.PatternInterface.Invoke) as System.Windows.Automation.Provider.IInvokeProvider ;
if (invokeProv != null) invokeProv.Invoke();

This code would be useful if you are clicking a button that is not part of your own script like a button in the platform. If the button is coded in your script its easier to just make a custom method and then have your buttons event call the method. You can then call that method anywhere else when you need to invoke that code.
