Hi,

Yes, this is the method but if the option hideOnClick is set to true (and it is by default), the sub menu will be reset immediately after it is activated since the button click bubbles to the document and there the hideOnClick hander is executed. You can avoid this, for example, by calling the method asynchronously with a short timeout like this:

$('#button').on('click', function() {
     setTimeout(function() {
          $('#main-menu').smartmenus('itemActivate', $('#list-item > a'));
     }, 1);
});

Let me know if you still have any troubles.
