can i use a button to mimic a cursor key?

when i use a simple code like this....

<control type="button">
<posx>50</posx>
<posy>202</posy>
<texturefocus>test.png</texturefocus>
<texturenofocus>test2.png</texturenofocus>
<onclick>left</onclick>
</control>

....nothing happens

i will use buttons to mimic these keys when click on it to rotate a horizontal menu such as aeon home menu

can anyone help me?

Try these:
- SendClick([windowname,]controlid)
- SetFocus(id)

sure you can and what you did probably works fine just not the way you think what you are doing is going left from the control currently focused. which is the button your clicking on. and if your using a mouse then your just setting the focus right back to the original button again with the mouse.
What you probably want to do is use <onclick>Control.Move(ID,Amount)</onclick>
eg on a list of ID 3 <onclick>Control.Move(3,-1)</onclick> with move it either up or left depending on if its vertical or horizontal and <onclick>Control.Move(3,1)</onclick> will move it right or down
