WPFでWinFormsのButtonのPerformClickと同じようなことを実施

ButtonExtensions.cs

namespace WpfButtonPerformClick.Extensions
{
  using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.Linq;
  using System.Windows.Automation.Peers;
  using System.Windows.Automation.Provider;
  using System.Windows.Controls;

  public static class ButtonExtensions
  {
    public static void PerformClick(this Button self)
    {
      //
      // WinFormsでいうPerformClickを実行.
      //   System.Windows.Automation.Peers
      //   System.Windows.Automation.Provider
      // 名前空間が必要。
      //
      // IInvokeProviderインターフェースは、UIAutomationProvider.dll
      // の参照設定が追加で必要となる。
      //
      var peer     = new ButtonAutomationPeer(self);
      var provider = peer.GetPattern(PatternInterface.Invoke) as IInvokeProvider;

      provider.Invoke();      
    }
  }
}

FrameworkElementExtensions.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows;

namespace WpfButtonPerformClick.Extensions
{
  public static class FrameworkElementExtensions
  {
    public static T FindByName<T>(this FrameworkElement self, string name) where T : FrameworkElement
    {
      return self.FindName(name) as T;
    }
  }
}
