    Hi @surajsalvi , for the button creation, I recommend you check this discussion https://discuss.ansys.com/discussion/1243/how-to-create-custom-buttons-on-wb-project-page

    For the custom window, I believe there could be different solutions. What should this window do? Could you elaborate a little more on your need?

    For the custom button, you should use ACT as Pierre explained. For the custom window, you can use any option supported by IronPython. If you only need to run on Windows, many people choose to use Windows Forms. For example:

    import clr
clr.AddReference('System.Windows.Forms')
from System.Windows.Forms import Application, Form
class HelloWorldForm(System.Windows.Forms.Form):
    def __init__(self):
        self.Text = 'Hello World'
        self.Name = 'Hello World'
form = HelloWorldForm()
form.ShowDialog()
