Alternatively you can already have the button in place but not visible:

button2.setVisible( false );
button2.setManaged( false );

In FMXL, it would be:

<Button fx:id="button2" visible="false" managed="false" />

The setManaged method will prevent the layout from making space for the button.

Then when you want the button to be revealed you do the following:

button2.setManaged( true );
button2.setVisible( true );

You'll want to use the VBox.getChildren().Add() method.

vbox.getChildren().add(1, button);

The first parameter allows you to insert the button at a certain index, if you want the button to be between the first and second element, simply insert at index 1.
