Making something invisible is not "stupid", it allows you to easily
hide/disable any control at will.  What you want to create is a transparent
button which you can do by disabling the default display properties of the
button: showName, showBorder, threeD, and showHilite.  You can also use
graphics as transparent buttons by setting the filled to true and the ink
effect to "noop".
