Hi there,  
I would like to fire a CLICKED and RELEASED g4p button event by pressing a certain key on the keyboard. That is, I would like the same visual feedback as if I had manually clicked the button with the mouse.  
Would that be possible?  
thanks,  
josep m

No.  
Sorry but G4P buttons only respond to mouse events.

Ok! I thought it could be possible to manually fire an event. Thanks anyway!
