I don't think I have a property that controls this aspect. We would have to
get in the source code and enhance things a bit. You might look at it and
see if you can create a subclass and overide the default behavior and make
it behave the way you want. You are also welcome to change the sources and I
can merge in your changes to the IBO code for the next release. (The one
people probably are wondering if is ever going to come out!!!)
