Commandset
This element is not displayed and serves as a container for command elements.
In addition, this element can serve as a command updater, which is used to update the enabled state of one or more commands when certain events occur. A common use of the command updater is to update the cut, copy, and paste menu items as the user selects text.

commandupdater
Type: boolean
If true, the commandset is used for updating commands. Typically, this is used to update menu commands such as Undo and Cut based on when an event occurs. For example, since the Cut command is only valid when something is selected, a command updater might be used when the select event occurs.
