Ribbon.Enabled Property (ExRibbon)

By default, the Enabled property is True. Use the Enabled property to disable the control. When the control is disabled the inside elements look as grayed. Use the Enabled property of the Item object to disable a specific item. Use the Locked property to disabled the control without changing the visual appearance of the inside elements.

How can I enable or disable an item?
