Is there a property which designates which object goes on top if both are visible?

details:
I have inhertied a form which has a number of buttons. On clicking one of them, a lengthy data update process starts during which we do not want the user to click on any of the other buttons.
Instead of disabling all button and reenabling them we have a Label (normally invisible) which is large enough to cover all the buttons and is made visible during the long procedure, then again invisible. This works well for preventing access to the buttons.

Now I want to add new buttons which should also be covered during the "data update" procedure. But oddly these new buttons stay on top of the Label, in both design-view and runtime.

Thanks,
That was the right trick.

Beware of users using the Tab key to get at the underlying buttons anyway . . .

That's good to know.
But in this case this should go a long way to prevent mayhem.
Thanks again.
