You have a roParagraphScreen or one of the other canned Roku screens with buttons.
Is it possible to click or highlight (scroll) to one of the buttons without the user using the remote ?
I know it isn't documented but can you "POST" to the roMessage port ?

I guess I can use the ECP interface but I was looking for a more direct method.

Also is there a way to build a msg response object as if it came from wait() ?

I don't know of any way to create and post roXXXEvents, but I've accomplished something similar by implementing an event queue array and a custom GetMessage() method that first checks the event queue array, then the message port. You can create a BrightScript "object" that looks just like an event (with the exception of Type() checking), so you should be able to get there with minimal changes to your Wait loop.

I do have a central msg wait and event queue routine for all my objects. And I have been able to manipulate the roImageScreens with a dummy return msg.
I just checked the Type(msg) In the return and if it wasn't a roImageScreenEvent, went down a different path.
I was mostly interested in simulating a button select or scroll on the screen. I guess the best visual method would be to post an ECP button push.
