disabling button after login

hi i want to have a button disabled at runtime after a user login with certain credentials.can someone please point me in the right direction?
if(...)
somebutton.enable=false;
Some_Btn.EnableWindow(FALSE);
How are you drawing said button?
What type of login system have you implemented/need to implement?
thank you guys for the reply. i have a txt file with some user credentials eg. admin and user. should admin login he will have say 3 buttons available, should user login he should have say only two buttons available. I have commented out where i am trying to call the form which should have the said button disabled. Here is some of my code. thanks for your assistance.
