Pointer WPF control

Question

In Visual Studio 2010 Express, in the WPF toolbox there exists a Pointer control that cannot be dragged to the XAML window. Furthermore, trying the obvious <Pointer /> XAML element shows that such an element does not exist. So what is the Pointer entry in the toolbox?

Thanks.

It is a little misleading, but as the comments pointed out, the "Pointer" item in those Controls lists is a placeholder for setting the visual editor into a selection state, so that you can move controls around or resize them on the design surface.
