Yeah, I think it's fairly worthless. Some of these windows (perhaps all of
them) can be toggled on and off. I *think* the center window toggles between
holding the form and the code window. I could be wrong here; it's been a
while since I've used it.

I'll go browsing later and see if I can find an example.

No, I should have warned you. With the Property Sheet, Focus moves to a
hidden SLE (EditText), so the window no longer gets key events. It might be
a good idea to create a hidden control for the Design window, so focus can
be shifted between all these emulated controls. That way, you can trap keys
in the real, hidden control instead of the Design window itself, and the two
emulated controls can live in harmony. Tab focus would also work. I should
have coded it that way in the first place.
