toolPropertyWindow([field=string], [helpButton=string], [icon=string], [inMainWindow=boolean], [location=string], [noviceMode=boolean], [resetButton=string], [selectCommand=string], [showCommand=string])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
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.
None
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
