Fire button click via code #9

Is there a why to fire the button click via code/programmatically?

For example, MultiFileUpload multiUpload = new MultiFileUpload(this, uploadStateWindow); multiUpload.click();

Thanks!

For security reasons you can't trigger the file browser dialog in javascript, unless it is as a response to some user triggered event. Anyway I have tried it in GWT with Gquery and native JS, by invoking click() on the file input element and while it works in Firefox and IE10, it won't work in Chrome, Safari and Opera (WebKit browsers).
