I still can't seem to figure out this example from the book. Here is the 
code as I have it:
' Gambas class file

PUBLIC SUB Form_Open()
     DIM hButton AS Button
     hButton = NEW Button (ME) AS "hButton"

     hButton.X = 120
     hButton.Y = 60
     hButton.Width = 200
     hButton.Height = 40
     hButton.ForeColor = Color.Cyan
     hButton.BackColor = Color.Red
     hButton.Font.Bold = TRUE
     hButton.Enabled = TRUE
     hButton.Text = "Click or press ESC to Quit"
     hButton.ToolTip = "Hey! Back off!"
     hButton.Border = TRUE
     hButton.Default = TRUE
     hButton.Cancel = TRUE
     hButton.Show
END

PUBLIC SUB hButton_Click()
   Button.Hide
   Label.Text = "Hey! Watch that!"
   WAIT 2.0
   Button.Show
   Label.Text = "Ahh! So good!"
END

When I click on the button created by the main sub I'll get the error of 
"Button.Hide is not static". I don't understand what it is trying to 
say. I thought that Button.Hide was a Method that actually make calls to 
built in Subs, or do I need to actually add in code for Hide and Show as 
subs from the hButton_Click sub? Or am I really out in left field?
