And how do you retrieve or dismiss it? Regardless, it should be 
accessible via the standard UI convention, and on Windows, that is 
right clicking the object to get a shortcut menu that offers a 
PROPERTIES choice. There's nothing esoteric about that -- it's been 
the standard UI convention for this in Windows for almost 15 years.

Failure to implement standard UI conventions is a user-hostile action 
on the part of programmers.
