PropertyMask

Allows a third-party developer to lock or hide a property.

Description

A property mask says how to hide or lock a property. Applies to any kind of property: ROM-defined, user-defined, or extension-defined. The mask is used when creating a reusable component, it allows the developer to hide properties that the consumer does not need or should not change.

The mask is not meant to be a security rule; it is instead designed to help a component designer customize the property sheet UI. Because of this, a mask on a derived element can hide a mask on a base element: element A can lock a property. Element B can derive from A and unlock the property.
