yes, right.
But as andrew said: dimming out a button is a BAD THING, if there's a
popup/menu behind.
And there can be n intermixed levels of popups & complex functions,
so finding the Maximize or Minimize action and dimming these -
RIGHT THING (TM) - is impossible: O(n!^n!) (well almost).

It may be legendary but the swordmakers of ancient times were said to
have quenched red hot blades by running them through the bodies of
slaves, which would certainly both raise the temper of the slaves and
also most likely quench them as well. -- Alan Heldman
