Question about doClick( )

[Hussein Baghdadi]

Hey ranchers.
I have read the following about doClick( ) method :
Programmatically perform a "click". This does the same thing as if the user had pressed and released the button
does that mean that I can use doClick( ) instead of :
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener( )) approach ?
thanks.

The doClick methods in the AbstractButton api are a way to programmatically generate an ActionEvent from a JButton. The JButton still needs an ActionListener to receive the event that is generated.
