Not 100% sure as to exactly what "outside" function you are hoping to call
and or have created, however..  Try using rand().

It's been awhile since I worked on the windows side of things, anyhow,
dependant
upon the programming language you are using you will have to assign a
statement
that randomly generates new data each time your random related
procedure/function
is called.  For example I would use: RANDOMIZE, as a part of a visual basic
project
and use 'rnd' as my means of generating the random data..  Without RANDOMIZE
the data would remain the same despite how many clicks one was to use.  I
suggest
looking up the documentation in reference to the programming language you
are using
and or try a search engine in regards to a specific command that will assist
you in
generating random data in your programming environment.

All the best,
