It depends on the gui api you are using. Some require you to run your own 
(delayed)event loop checking for gui events, or using a wait alike command which 
waits for an event, within a loop. Then you check what caused the event and start the 
function according to that. After that it returns to the wait command after it 
completed the loop.
