I agree with you, using names is messy, but its the only way I have found to accomplish this task.

To make things neater do something like:

with evaluate("this." + this.cObj)
    .Enabled = .F. &&&& or whatever
endwith

This allows you to use the same name for a number of steps without having to reevaluate every time.
