I'm sure there's a "right way" but if you're in a hurry you can do something 
I've used successfully. Use a table to lay out your objects, and pack two 
buttons into the same cell. Hide one. When you need to show the Stop button, 
hide the Remove button and show the Stop button. It works very well for me.
