Rocksteady's already mentioned that you should use the Visible property to know if the button's showing on the form or not, but typically button's are disabled not hidden when it's marked as in-accessible. Which means you'll be looking at the Enabled property for that.

So here's a quick example to determine if a button's showing and is enabled or not:

Messagebox.Show("Button's accessible: " & CStr(Button1.Enabled AndAlso Button1.Visible)

This produces a boolean value and show the result in the messagebox
