I would suggest creating a class that is instantiated at the time of the first button press, which receives as a parameter the button control which called it, then hides the class the first button belongs to, and positions the new class wherever it needs to go relative to the first button, and then shows itself and sets focus on a particular button. When the Escape key is pressed, the newly added class will remove itself, and make the original class that called it visible again.

That way each thing does one set of related things:
(1) First button creates the class, passing itself as a parameter
(2) New class:
(2a) Positions itself relative to the first button's class,
(2b) Hides first button's class,
(2c) Makes itself visible
(2d) Sets focus on itself

When the user presses escape:
(3) New class makes first button class visible
(4) Destroys itself.
