What you can do is set a boolean that refers to the status of the button,
and in your methods that are called when you press that button, place a
line like 

   if buttondisabled then exit;

I know this works, since I use it.  There are also ways of destroying the
button (since it is after all just another window) or hiding it, you may
even be able to dynamically change it's ID and that would disable it's
associated methods, then change it back when you need it again. 

I use the rather brutal approach of a boolean.
