Great idea, Justus, works a treat!

From the helpfiles:
While it is possible to call WIDGET_CONTROL, MAP=0 with the widget ID
of any widget, only base widgets can actually be unmapped. If you
specify a widget ID that is not from a base widget, IDL searches
upward in the widget hierarchy until it finds the closest base widget.
The map operation is applied to that base.

So you can actually hide the button itself, and so long as it has its
own associated child base that it doesn't share with anything else, by
using
WIDGET_CONTROL, Button_ID, MAP = 0

Works for me. Thanks for this great tip!
