User control property

I was reviewing some older posts dealing with handling Excel spreadsheets. One of those had these statements:

Set xlApp = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
...
xlApp.UserControl = True
...
My question is, what does the UserControl property mean?

I looked up the built-in help but just forgot about MSDN being out there.

Thanks.
