disabling menu item bassed on condition

Hi,

I added a menu item on SalesLine grid in 'both salesTable' form and 'ProjSalesItemReq' form. Where these two forms have "SalesTable" and "SalesLine" as datasources

I want this menu item to be enabled only if SalesTable.SalesStatus = backOrder

is the only way to do it on active method for for salesLine datasource on both forms? just trying to see if there is another way than what i did, which will save calling the logic each time on active method for salesLine even though i'm checking SalesTable status

[ExtensionOf(formDataSourceStr(SalesTable, SalesLine))]
final class SalesTableSalesLineFormDS_Extension
{
    public int active()
 {
     int ret = next active();

     if(ret)
     {
         FormDataSource salesTableDataSource = element.dataSource(formDataSourceStr(SalesTable, SalesTable)) as FormDataSource;         
         SalesTable  salesTable  = salesTableDataSource.cursor();

         if(salesTableDataSource && salesTable && salesTable.SalesStatus == SalesStatus::Backorder)
         {
             element.design().controlName(formControlStr(SalesTable,XMenu)).enabled(true);
         }
         else
         {
             element.design().controlName(formControlStr(SalesTable,XMenu)).enabled(false);
         }
         
     }
     return ret;
 }
}

[ExtensionOf(formDataSourceStr(ProjSalesItemReq, SalesLine))]
final class ProjSalesItemReqFormDS_Extension
{
    public int active()
 {
     int ret = next active();

     if(ret)
     {
         FormDataSource salesTableDataSource = element.dataSource(formDataSourceStr(ProjSalesItemReq, SalesTable)) as FormDataSource;         
         SalesTable  salesTable  = salesTableDataSource.cursor();

         if(salesTableDataSource && salesTable && salesTable.SalesStatus == SalesStatus::Backorder)
         {
             element.design().controlName(formControlStr(ProjSalesItemReq,XMenu)).enabled(true);
         }
         else
         {
             element.design().controlName(formControlStr(ProjSalesItemReq,XMenu)).enabled(false);
         }
         
     }
     return ret;
 }
}
