    ' editor-window is maximized - we might still miss the upper left corner.
    ' So what happens in this loop is that we try to click in the middle of the
    ' control. This works in 21 out of 22 cases. If it fails, we try to grab the 
    ' border, first upper left corner then lower right. If this still fails,
    ' we try to select the control by using a rectangle selection around the
    ' control. If this last resort fails, the function exits gracefully but
    ' with a warnlog (causing some other functions to fail with warnings
    ' as well). Beware of possible problems with screen resolutions. 
    ' This function has been tested for 1024x768 and 1280x1024 pixels.
    ' Method 4 is dangerous because it might accidentially select the 
    ' background window which is the reason why this is not the default.
    
    ' New: Method 5 is troublesome as well because #i79126 does not enable the 
    ' OpenProperties-button on the Macro Controls Float. Currently it is just used 
    ' to see what happens if we hack alog using keystrokes. Experimental.
