 Mapguide 2.2
 OS: don't care

 I've noticed that properties are fetched even if property pane is not
 visible (disabling it in webLayout XML).

 This is important because under certain conditions property fetch takes a
 lot of time

 I've also seen changeset
 [http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/changeset/4138 4138] and
 [http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/changeset/4139 4139] made by jng but they
 do not seem to address properly the case where property pane is disabled
 from webLayout.

 We do have a variable (isProperties) that holds whether property pane is
 enabled or not.

 Thus I propose the following enhancement to the IsPropertyCtrlVisible()
 function

 {{{
 function IsPropertyCtrlVisible()
 {
 +    if (!isProperties) return false;
     return GetPropertyCtrl().width > 0;
 }
 }}}
