toolPropertyWindow [-field string] [-helpButton string] [-icon string] [-inMainWindow boolean] [-location string] [-noviceMode boolean] [-resetButton string] [-selectCommand string] [-showCommand string]
toolPropertyWindow is undoable, queryable, and editable.
End users should only call this command as 1. a query (in the
custom tool property sheet code) or 2. with no arguments to create
the default tool property sheet. The more complex uses of it are
internal.
