@short An abstract base class of property viewer and editor vidget.

Subclass this class to create custom property viewer and editor widget.

Descendants should implement value() and setValue() methods.

Hint: in case you want to implement your property editor widget using
existing widgets like TQLineEdit, TQComboBox, etc. you can't use multiple
inheritance from two TQObject descendants due to TQt library restriction.
Therefore use line edits and combo boxes as child widgets.

A set of predefined widgets for predefined property types are available
in the library.
