QueryStatus is called many times per command in Visual Studio

QueryStatus Event handler is called many times in Visual Studio Extension OleMenuCommand development. Is there anyway we can restrict to call it one time per command.

Hello, the QueryStatus is called multiple times to update UI elements like menu items, toolbar buttons. If you have multiple commands, you can set the visible status for the menu commands to restrict it.

 private static bool _queryStatusCalled = false;
        private void MenuItem_BeforeQueryStatus(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                if (_queryStatusCalled)
                {
                    _queryStatusCalled = false;
                    return;
                }
                else
                {
