You have to have some way to reference those buttons. One way to do
this is to use the full containership path by joining the Name
properties of the contained objects in dot notation. One example might
be: self.Form.mainPanel.dButton1.Caption = "My New Caption"
The problem with that is that if you later give your button a more
meaningful name, that reference will be broken. So there is an
alternative: every control has a 'RegID' property that will 'Reg'ister
that value as an 'ID' with the form. So if you set the button's
RegID="VerticalButton1", you can then refer to it from any object in
that form as 'self.Form.VerticalButton1'

No, it isn't, but I can see why you might think that. It's simply a
tree to help you see the objects as they are nested within the various
sizers and containers in your design.

Sure: button.Visible = False
