Yes, just double click on the AX controls 'self' entry in the published
aspect inspector tree and the property dialog will be opened. It will also
expand/collapse the sub-aspects unfortunately, but that is a relatively
minor inconvenience.
This will be better integrated in the next version of Dolphin, in particular
we are working on exposing all the controls properties as appropriate types
of 'aspects' in the PAI (e.g. the enumerated types will be represented as
choice lists that display the 'friendly' strings as in VB's drop-downs in
its property inspector) below the controlDispatch entry. There should also
be a context menu entry to open the property dialog.
