execute function without Button click

Hello, here is my dilemma, I have created a function to create a popup window, however it does not popup immediately per say on a button click. when the user fills out the form and clicks the save button it validates there data, if they have any errors then I want to launch this window, so it is not always guaranteed on the button click. How can I either cause a button to be clicked that the user does not click, or force this popup function to execute?

I'm a bit confused about the description of your problem. Maybe if you could post more details it could help. Here's how I understand it.

You have a function, void CreatePopupWindow() that creates a popup window.
You also have a function like, bool DisplayDataIsValid()

Couldn't you, in the event handler for your button put the following code.

private void EventHanlder button_Click(...)
{
if(DisplayDataIsValid())
{
...Do normal stuff...
}
else
{
CreatePopupWindow()
}
}
