GUILayer.enabled = false being ignored

I seem to be facing an error whereby I can’t disable my GUI Layer.

I’m disabling the guilayer then taking a screenshot and then re-enabling it - but this doesn’t seem to be working.

private GUILayer guiLayer;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
	guiLayer = GameObject.Find("MainCamera").GetComponent<GUILayer>();
}

public void CaptureButton(){
	if(GUI.Button(new Rect(Screen.width-225, (Screen.height-100)+25, 200, 50), "Capture")){
		guiLayer.enabled = false;
		StartCoroutine(CaptureScreenshot());
	}	
}
IEnumerator CaptureScreenshot(){
	yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();		
	//TAKE SCREENSHOT CODE
    yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
	guiLayer.enabled = true;
}

I’ve tried removing the re-enable line at the end of the CaptureScreenshot line but the GUI stays throughout. I’ve even tried adding the guiLayer.enabled = false line to the Start() function with the hope that this’ll illustrate whether or not the line itself is working but it’s not.

Can anyone help?

Instead of disabling the GUILayer directly, I adjusted how the button action is called and instead added a boolean to turn the gui display on and off.

It works now.

if (showGUI){
	if(GUI.Button(new Rect(Screen.width-225, (Screen.height-100)+25, 200, 50), "Capture")){
		StartCoroutine(PauseForScreenshot());
	}
}
IEnumerator PauseForScreenshot(){
	showGUI = false;
	yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);
    CaptureScreenshot();
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);
	showGUI = true;
}
