I am using Sitecore 8.2 (initial release) and I have a case when for a rendering I have defined the fields

'Datasource Template'

and

'Datasource Location'

but I need to disable the button for

'Create new content'

that appears in the window displayed in editor when adding a component.

enter image description here

I can see that if no 'Datasource Template' is defined on the rendering the button is disabled by default, so this seems doable.

enter image description here

Is there an easy way to somehow disable it even if I have defined the template for the rendering?

You need to change: \Website\sitecore\shell\Applications\Dialogs\SelectRenderingDatasource\SelectRenderingDatasource.xml

He use Sitecore.Shell.Applications.Dialogs.SelectRenderingDatasource class.

You need to override method 

 protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)

You need to have something like 

 if (yourconditionaretrue)
  {
      this.DisableCreateOption();
  }

You can remove Create access right from certain group of users. This won't disable the button but nobody from this group will be able to create anything there.

Sitecore will display a message and disable the OK button as on the picture below.

Message which will be shown to the users
