It is strictly a software convention.  A property has methods that start
with get_ and/or put_, with one parameter.  So, for a property called
"Size", you would have methods called get_Size and put_Size, each taking
one parameter.

As you can see, it's a bit squishy.  There's no better way to do that in
C++.
