Is there a button property for enabling and disabling (and preferably graying out) a button in a PDF?

As a backup plan, is there a way to change the text color on a button (alternately to gray or black)?

Thanks in advance for your help ...

Trevor,

It appears there is no functionality for greying out buttons. But this page explains a workaround:
