Unified Commands Sample

This sample demonstrates the implementation of a set of commands that unify some of the code behind menus, toolbars, and other objects. This subset of code is important because it can trigger often-used actions in an application. The set of commands can track changes and update common element types, such as check box selection status, visibility, and enabled status.
