' Inputs : CommandBar the command bar of interest
' Outputs : Boolean True if one control is enabled (the first one
found is enough).
' Precon(s) : The controls have already been enabled/disabled based on

You cannot declare the argument as type commandbar if you are going to pass
commandbars, popups and buttons through it. Try declaring it as a generic
