class CBaseMtmUi : public CBase
/** Provides MTM-specific user interaction, such as editing, viewing, deleting, 
and copying of message entries. 

Message client applications use the class to access such functionality polymorphically. 
MTM implementers implement a derived class to provide such functionality for 
their message protocol.

The base class is largely an interface definition: it implements little important 
functionality itself. For implementers, this documentation defines conditions 
that any implementation must fulfil, plus suggested semantics for behaviour. 
This still leaves many decisions in the hands of the implementer. A key design 
time activity is to define how the particular characteristics of the implemented 
protocol are best mapped to the interface. As this class is concerned with 
user interfaces, implementers should be sensitive to the look and feel of 
the target phone.

Many functions are required to return an instance of a CMsvOperation-derived 
class to provide asynchronous control and monitoring to the caller of the 
operation being performed. 

The following are some significant groups of functions:

Entry manipulation functions: OpenL(), CloseL(), EditL(), and ViewL() are 
all available in two overloaded versions. The first version operates on the 
current context. The second version operates upon groups of entries specified 
by a CMsvEntrySelection argument. All entries must be in same folder and all 
of the correct MTM type. The context may change after calling these functions. 
Concrete User Interface MTMs can legally ignore any of the entries within 
the selection - many may, for example, simply open the first entry.

Copying and moving functions: the CopyToL(), CopyFromL(), MoveToL(), and MoveFromL() 
functions are concerned with copying and moving entries to and from remote 
servers. MTMs can implement these functions to provide any user interaction 
needed before copying or moving can proceed, such as dialogs to confirm settings; 
and, any protocol-specific setup steps that can be done at this stage: for 
example, a fax MTM could render messages into the required image format.

Progress information functions: DisplayProgressSummary() and GetProgress() 
convert MTM-specific progress information about some asynchronous operation, 
such as message sending, to a human-readable form. The progress information 
to pass into these functions is, in general, obtained from an on-going CMsvOperation 
by calling CMsvOperation::Progress(). The nature of any information provided 
is MTM-specific. 

MTM-specific UI functions: MTM components can offer protocol-specific functionality 
not provided by base class interface functions. MTM components define IDs 
that correspond to each protocol-specific operation offered, and implement 
the InvokeSyncFunctionL() and InvokeAsyncFunctionL() functions to allow clients 
to access these operations by passing in the appropriate ID. Two functions 
are provided to allow the MTM component to offer both synchronous and asynchronous 
functionality. Message client applications can dynamically add user-interface 
features for these operations using CBaseMtmUiData::MtmSpecificFunctions(). 
MTM developers should document the IDs if they wish to make the operations 
available to clients.
