Hi,
Thanx for the advise.
I put the codes into the click of the button and sloved it for now
but incase if i need it to run soon after the init is over where should i place it?
I mean it would run or atleast check for the presence of the window if placed in the click.

I know click is the wrong place for it but dont know where to place it
