Currently implemented:
- visibility
- enablement
- tooltip text
- colors
- fonts

Class Group
A basic implementation exists. The various SHADOW styles are not yet supported. Though API for changing the font exists as it is inherited from Control using those methods has not effect client-side.

The current implementation of Shell comprises the following features:
- get/set text (title bar caption)
