The <disable_pin>True</disable_pin> goes in the xml file within the opening <button> and closing </button> tags. To disable the button you will have to set the pin true in your hal file.

guess i don't know what i think i know. diabling the pin
doesn't mean one click it does the one thing you want it to,
then another click disables the last action.(does the opposite
of what it did before ? or disabling stops it from
working at all ? why put/make a pin you disable.

or is it used to disable it while something else is
going on and back on after that is finished ? as in
fazed out menu idems ?

One use is to prevent the button from being used when it is not appropriate or safe to do so. For example if you have a button to start the do-dad but you have to have the plasma pump running before you start the do-dad you would make the disable pin be true if the plasma pump is not running.

When you add <disable_pin>True</disable_pin> to a pyvcp button all that does is create a disable pin for that button. So you need to open up Show Hal Configuration window and find out what the name of the pin is, then you can put that in your hal file and connect it to what ever you want to disable the button, but make sure it is a bit pin not something else.
