Can CALLBACK function be called in code or does it have to be rewritten as regular function

[CPST]

This maybe is a silly question but has anyone called a CALLBACK function in code instead of just a response to user interface?

How can I pass info to it without knowing what the H file will renumber the controls to?

Thanks for not making fun of the question!

You can call a control callback function in code: once you know the panel handle, you can call the function passing the panel handle (which I suppose you have stored in some variable), the control id in the form PANEL_CONTROLID the same way you pass it to e.g. SetCtrlVal and the event using EVENT_COMMIT and other macros thet you can find in userint.h

If you are using the Programmer's Toolbox (<cvi Folder>\toolslib\toolbox.fp) you can also use CallCtrlCallback command to invoke a control callback without knowing its name.
