routine won't recurse

Questions, criticisms and comments welcome - there must be an easier way!

' Procedure : hasAtLeastOneControlEnabled
' Purpose : Determines if the passed command bar has at least one control
enabled. If the
' bar has even one control enabled then the bar should be
enabled; if no
' controls enabled then the bar needs to be disabled.
' 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
context.

Private Function hasAtLeastOneControlEnabled(aParentBar As
Office.CommandBar) As Boolean

For Each ctl In aParentBar.Controls
If TypeOf ctl Is CommandBarPopup Then
bResult = hasAtLeastOneControlEnabled(ctl) <====this doesn't
recurse here
Else

Exit Function
End If

Next ctl

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
object.
