CXTPControlComboBox - SetEnabled question

Why is SetEnabled in CXTPControlComboBox a protected method?
In my case, I have a CXTPToolBar in a CDialog derived class. I want to manually disable it from the dialog code using a CXTPControlComboBox pointer like this:

m_ModeList->SetEnabled(FALSE);
I can't do this since SetEnabled is protected in the CXTPControlComboBox class. A "workaround" is to cast the pointer to a CXTPControlPopup pointer and call the public version of SetEnabled there but such code doesn't look good even if it works in this case.

((CXTPControlPopup*)m_ModeList)->SetEnabled(FALSE);
Is there a better way to disable a CXTPControlComboBox (without using update handler)?
