Control.Enabled always returns True in Execute Sub

   Hi,

I have used KeyBindings to create keyboard shortcuts to my menu functions.

However, when I use the keyboard shortcut, the 'Enabled' status of the control is ignored.  I therefore put a check at the top of the CommandBars_Execute procedure to the effect of

If Not Control.Enabled Then
    Exit Sub
End If

However, Control.Enabled always returns True, even when I can see the button on the CommandBar is NOT enabled.

Control.ID does return the correct ID however the ToolTipText and Description properties are empty.  The control does display a tooltip though.

Something doesn't add up here...

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Mike

	Hello, its designed behavior. You create kebinding for Id - not for some button instance. I recommend you enable/disable controls in update handlers or using Actions - this way keybinging will be also disabled.
