Victor,
I think you need to question this UI. If the can button disable and the user doesn't have any visual cue they are going to wonder why sometimes they can't click the button. This has the makings of lots of support calls.

>I've tried putting the .ico in the disabledpicture propery of the commandbutton, but I still loose the colors.
