Issue description

Hello.

We need to override getPropertyValue of a form at this moment to implement UIA_is_dialog_property_id in the form without showing it as a dialog, because an app, by design shouldn't be blocked, but we also need screenreader to read a label on focus as it is done when form is beeing showed as a dialog.

Is there any other possiibility to do that at this moment?

Please consider making AccessibleObject methods public to make it possible for third-party developers to have more customizations in their apps.

Steps to reproduce

Try to focus a form with label, progress bar and a cancel button with a screenreader In our case label with information should be read

@lonitra @JeremyKuhne and @Tanya-Solyanik should have a discussion around opening up AccessibilityObject in custom controls etc.

@Tanya-Solyanik - can you link any related issues?
