You are correct and you are out of luck unless you get underhanded and crafty . Here's what you do.

Create another single button (probably attached to a control block) that is the exact same size as the button you are trying to change. Set visible to False and place it on top of the button you are trying to change

Next find the coordinates of the upper left corner of the button you are trying to change.

Then, when conditions are right make that button visible and the problem is solved.

Alternatively ... put the button at a different coordinate on the form and not only make it visible ... but move it to the correct coordinate.
