Use GuiCtrlSetState() with $GUI_DISABLE and $GUI_ENABLE to manage the button.

I think it would look something like this:

First, to set the button disabled you would do this:

GuiCtrlSetState($button, $GUI_DISABLE)

I haven't tested this...

You might need a "GuiCtrlRead" in there but I'm not sure. Also, I'm assuming your counter goes down to 1. If this doesn't work you could post some of the script.

Here, try this:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate('', 180, 40)

$input = GUICtrlCreateInput('10', 10, 10, 20, 20, $ES_READONLY)

$btn1 = GUICtrlCreateButton('Enabled', 40, 10, 60, 20)
$btn2 = GUICtrlCreateButton('Exit', 110, 10, 60, 20)


GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $btn1
            GUICtrlSetData($btn1, 'Disabled')
            GUICtrlSetState($btn1, $GUI_DISABLE)
            GUICtrlSetState($btn2, $GUI_DISABLE)
            For $i = 9 To 1 Step - 1
                GUICtrlSetData($input, $i)
                Sleep(500)
            Next
            GUICtrlSetData($input, '10')
            GUICtrlSetData($btn1, 'Enabled')
            GUICtrlSetState($btn1, $GUI_ENABLE)
            GUICtrlSetState($btn2, $GUI_ENABLE)
        Case $btn2
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd
