show/hide Item disorder other items positions

Hi.
I’m having problems with my form structure when item is hidden or shown. When item is shown or hidden position of other subsequent elements is changed.
Is there a way of preserving items positions upon this action?
In my example I have three buttons in one row like this:
Btn1 [new column] Btn2 [new column] Btn3
I’m hiding or showing Btn1 which is causing Btn2 and Btn3 to move left or right and I don’t want that, I want them to be static.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
If you don’t want such behaviour, you can just disable/enable them.
Hide/show will be change positions.

Disabling/enabling item isn’t what I need. I need for item not to be visible. Disable only grays out the item but it’s still shown.
I’ve managed to achieve what i need by doing this:

            { type:"block" , name:"first_block", offsetTop:"5", offsetLeft:"280", list:[
                { type:"button" , name:"Btn2", value:"Next", width:60 },
                { type:"newcolumn"   },
                { type:"button" , name:"Btn3", value:"Cancel", offsetLeft:"5", width:"60" }
            ]  },
            { type:"button" , name:"Btn1", value:"Confirm", inputTop:8, position:"absolute", width:"60", hidden: true },

Note that ‘Btn1’ must be last othervise ‘z-index’ order is corupt!!!
