NewObject vs. RemoveObject methods.

But I think there must be yet a better way to apply different dimension for the buttons.

May be you can show some code or some properties for the Employee vs. Job button?

If you want functionality change may be the button class may instantiate a behavioral change object in its click method depending on the button's property?
