I think that the "official" way to do this is to create multiple 
versions of the button you need with the frame attributes you need, 
and then show only the one you want.  Wasteful, awkward, yes, but I 
don't think that setting the frame attribute is supported, and this 
is the only way I can think of around it.

>ControlType: need to determine which group a control is in.

Um, what group was it in when you created it?  Yes, again I agree 
that this is wasteful (why should you keep track of what group a 
control is in when the Form has that information for you already), 
but at least there's an alternative.

Please understand that I'm not trying to say "This is the way it 
should be done -- that's the way we want it".  What I'm trying to say 
is "Yes, it's an awkward situation right now.  We're working on it, 
but here are some alternatives in the meantime."
