I could, but that's not a solution I want to take. I want the user to do it so that he/she learns how it works.

If the user has to click that specific button (and no other button than that one) why not take away the choice from the user and do whatever that button does directly after startup?

I guess I COULD do that, but it wouldn't give the user the same experience, and it wouldn't teach him/her where the functionality can be found the next time he/she needs to do it.

In order not to complicate things too much, I think I'll use a simple DialogBox.
Need to find one with "Don't show this again" functionality, though...
Thanks everybody for your time and input!

Unless I am missing something, don't depend on what the user 'ought' to do but simply run the code, that clicking on the button would have run, the first time the application loads.

Record your voice to play when the app runs telling them what to do. Then play some musak before they click the correct button.
Another option is to say hot/cold whenever they get near to/away from the right button.
Edit:
Why not just take them there? You could always bring up a message that will tell them where they're going after ten seconds of inactivity.

This reminds me of the first WPF demo I saw which had an embedded video which rotated and the button itself throbbed.
Let's see 'em ignore that one.
And, hey why aren't we doing this in pirate speak mateys? Arrrr!

You could launch an interactive 'guide' on startup with the option to 'Do not show this again'.
