Select your button in designer, go to it's properties and change "Modifiers" property from Private to Public.

Then you can get access to it from another class, something like this:

public static class Test
{
    public static void DisalbeMyButton()
    {
        var form = Form.ActiveForm as Form1;

        if (form != null)
        {
            form.MyButton.Enabled = false;
        }
    }
}

Note: it's just an example and definitely not a pattern for good design :-)
