How do I fix the error I have when trying to call the method that contain KeyEventArgs e as argument

Question

Here is my code:

 public void Initialize()
    {
        //something here
        onKeyDown();
    }


    static void onKeyDown(KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Key == Keys.H)
        {
            //do stuff
        }
    }

and I get this error: There is no argument given that corresponds to the required formal parameter 'e' of 'Main.onKeyDown(KeyEventArgs)'.

I'm not really sure why you shouldn't do it, I'll let smarter people describe it.

Anyway, there's a way to call an event this way:

public void Initialize()
{
   onKeyDown((KeyEventArgs)System.EventArgs.Empty)
}

I would comment it but not enough reputation :(

Cannot comment yet so posting as response.

You need to share what you are trying to do here. Why would you want to simulate a keypress? You could perhaps do something like this:

public void Initialize()
    {
        //something here
        //onKeyDown();
DoStuff();
    }


    static void onKeyDown(KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Key == Keys.H)
        {
            DoStuff();
        }
    }

static void DoStuff(){
// DoStuff
}

To me it appears that you are trying to explicitly call an even handler which is not the purpose of event handlers. They are designed to be executed on if a certain user action or automated application action takes place.
