This is a supplement to Jay's answer.

By request, here is the code that I used to create a button cell that could be disabled. It includes double-buffering so that the buttons do not flicker when the user scrolls.

public class DataGridViewDisableButtonCell : DataGridViewButtonCell
{
    private bool enabledValue;

    public bool Enabled
    {
        get { return enabledValue; }
        set
        {
            if (enabledValue == value) return;
            enabledValue = value;
            // force the cell to be re-painted
            if (DataGridView != null) DataGridView.InvalidateCell(this);
        }
    }

    // Override the Clone method so that the Enabled property is copied. 
    public override object Clone()
    {
        var cell = (DataGridViewDisableButtonCell) base.Clone();
        cell.Enabled = Enabled;
        return cell;
    }

    // By default, enable the button cell. 
    public DataGridViewDisableButtonCell()
    {
        enabledValue = true;
    }

    protected override void Paint(
        Graphics graphics,
        Rectangle clipBounds,
        Rectangle cellBounds,
        int rowIndex,
        DataGridViewElementStates elementState,
        object value,

        string errorText,

        DataGridViewAdvancedBorderStyle advancedBorderStyle,
        DataGridViewPaintParts paintParts)
    {
        // The button cell is disabled, so paint the border, background, and disabled button for the cell. 
        if (!enabledValue)
        {
            var currentContext = BufferedGraphicsManager.Current;

            using (var myBuffer = currentContext.Allocate(graphics, cellBounds))
            {
                // Draw the cell background, if specified. 
                if ((paintParts & DataGridViewPaintParts.Background) == DataGridViewPaintParts.Background)

                    {
                        myBuffer.Graphics.FillRectangle(cellBackground, cellBounds);
                    }
                }

                // Draw the cell borders, if specified. 
                if ((paintParts & DataGridViewPaintParts.Border) == DataGridViewPaintParts.Border)

                buttonArea.X += buttonAdjustment.X;

                buttonArea.Height -= buttonAdjustment.Height;
                buttonArea.Width -= buttonAdjustment.Width;

                // Draw the disabled button.                
                ButtonRenderer.DrawButton(myBuffer.Graphics, buttonArea, PushButtonState.Disabled);

                var formattedValueString = FormattedValue as string;
                if (formattedValueString != null)
                {
                    TextRenderer.DrawText(myBuffer.Graphics, formattedValueString, DataGridView.Font, buttonArea, SystemColors.GrayText, TextFormatFlags.PreserveGraphicsTranslateTransform | TextFormatFlags.HorizontalCenter | TextFormatFlags.VerticalCenter);
                }

                myBuffer.Render();
            }
        }
        else
        {
            // The button cell is enabled, so let the base class handle the painting. 
            base.Paint(graphics, clipBounds, cellBounds, rowIndex, elementState, value, formattedValue, errorText, cellStyle, advancedBorderStyle, paintParts);
        }
    }
