Comments

Some properties are compound or nested properties that contain properties of their own. For example, a font can be described as a compound property consisting of face name, font height, weight, bold, italic, etc. This function allows the caller to retrieve a property value as an IPropertyContainer. In other words, the value of a font is a pointer to another property container that can then be used to retrieve the individual font properties. This function fails if the property ID passed in does not correspond to a nested property.
