You are setting the location of all three buttons to nearly the same place so they are displayed on top of each other. Try spacing them out a little more.

For example change m++; to m += 40;.

And then don't use m for TabIndex. +1

You need to space your buttons out a little. Also, you should give each of your buttons a unique ID.

button2.ID = "Button_" + i;
