Where are you looking for the printout?
How are you running it?

If the message I added doesn't print you need to look at how you are 
associating the method with the widget event.

You don't show us enough code for us to tell.
In fact you still don't show us enough to answer the original question 
about how to reference btnSearch. we would need to see where btnSearch 
is created.
