Set the Button's Transparent property to Yes. Create a Label the same size
as the button with the text you want to show on the Button, and the other
properties to your choice, then locate the Label on top of the Button,
select it, and Format | Send to Back.

Or, if you don't want anything more than a Click event, just use a Label
instead of a Command Button. Labels have Click events, too.
