If I remember right, technically is enable/disable behvior defined as EnableExpression in command specification.

To understand how ribbon is defined and how the definition is transformed into what is displayed in MicroStation GUI, to study Ribbon chapter in MicroStation API documentation, is recommended.

It's the third or fourth post at the top of the Forum.

I need to enable /disable ribbon menu buttons based on a variable value. When i searched in community, many suggestions was can be done through "Named Expressions".

Yours isn't a programming question.  A better place to post it would be the Administration Forum or the MicroStation Forum.

Named Expressions are discussed in MicroStation Help. 

You can use named expressions with the Customize utility to:

• define conditions under which when a tool or task is shown or hidden.
• define conditions under which a menu or menu item is shown or hidden and enabled or disabled.
• define conditions under which a menu item is marked.
• define conditions under which a contextual menu item is shown or hidden and enabled or disabled.
