How to get properties for controls in dialog editor.

[Jay]

I am trying to edit a dialog created with msvc 6.0. If I select a control
and look in the properties window, there are no properties shown. The
drop-down list has 'Selected Object' multiple times (I guess once per
control).

Is there any way of changing properties using the dialog editor or should I
be using a text editor?

I forgot to say I'm using msvc 7.0

Incidentally, using a text editor to edit resource files while the resource
editor is open produces a pretty wacky bug: Msvc throws up 2 copies of the
dialog warning about files being modified outside the editor but it is only
possible to close one of these.
