You can use an "Action" to group together items (like menu items or 
buttons) which can throw "actions". For example, you can have a button 
and menu item which both save the file currently edited. You can 
associate them together by assigning to them the action "SaveFile". 
Then, you can enable or disable they together by executing:

  action["SaveFile"].Enabled = FALSE


In a complex application, where you can have many items related to a 
single state, this can help to simplfy the work.
It is planned to extend this, and add more functionalities.
