Abstract class for component editors.
Derive classes from this component to create component specific dialogs. The new class should override InternalExecute method which provides a way to update the dialog with the property values of the edited component and redeclare the Source property to reflect the new type of the component for which to display the dialog. The dialog (TForm) class type will be determined by calling the TMtxComponent.EditorClass function. The displayed dialog should write new values directly to the edited component. The cancel feature can be implemented by creating a copy of the edited component while the dialog is being updated by the InternalExecute method. Pointer to the edited component is being passed via the TForm.Tag property.
