I'm not familiar with the Graphics module or how it works,
but in general when constructing widgets you need to either
a) pass in some kind of callback function, or
b) use a bind function to connect the button with the function or
c) use a naming convention to associate the button and callback.

I don't see anything in your code that connects the button to
the function you want to be called. So I suspect you need to
look at the GUI callback mechanism in more detail?
