private void button6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Button newBtn = new Button();
    newBtn.Name = "button7";
    newBtn.Location = new Point(568, 12);
    newBtn.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 23);
    newBtn.Text = "button7";
    //apply button6's font to newBtn font
    newBtn.Font = new Font(button6.Font.FontFamily, button6.Font.Size);
    newBtn.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
    this.Controls.Add(newBtn);
    helper.AddNewControl(newBtn);
