IIRC, in VC++, the properties windows is not a dialog, but a normal, 
non-modal window - it is desgined so it can stay open all the time. 
Also, the contents are sensitive to the currently selected item. So, the 
menu item itself does, in a way, nothing more than opening that window. 
But it's long ago that I used Visual Studio...
