Property Value
Type: System.Windows.Forms.IWin32Window
An IWin32Window providing the handle to the window acting as the user interface for dialog page.
Remarks
By default, Window returns a property grid with an entry for each public property supporting conversion to and from strings through TypeConverter.
Visual Studio requires that the windows of ToolsOptions page windows must be constant and should not be re-created upon successive calls. Some user interface controls, particularly Windows Forms controls, can create and destroy their window handles at will, and this must be avoided. One way of doing this is to return Windows Forms derived from UserControl.
Notes
Typically an instance of a dialog page class is its own automation object. Therefore, properties displayed are those of a class derived from DialogPage. However, if AutomationObject returns another object, it is that object's properties, and not the properties of the class, that are displayed.
