/** Base class for UI Data MTM components. 

CBaseMtmUiData-derived classes allow message client applications to customise 
dynamically their user interfaces for a particular message type. For example, 
if a message client application currently had a fax entry selected, then it 
could use the fax MTM's concrete class to get information on the menus and 
icons that it should display. 

Specifically, functionality falls into the following three areas:

1. supplying MTM-specific icons for Message Server entries

2. supplying user interface text, e.g. for menus, for MTM-specific operations

3. providing checks that MTM functions are suitable for use on an entry. It is 
intended that client applications will use these functions to select dynamically 
the user interface features available dependent on the entry currently selected 
within the application. For example, menu items that do not apply to particular 
entries could be greyed out. Note that OperationSupportedL() performs a similar 
function for MTM-specific functions. Implementations should determine if the 
operation is supported by checking the properties of the entry, such as its 
type. If the operation is not appropriate on the entry, then the aReasonResourceId 
argument is set to the ID of a string in the UI Data MTM's resource file 
that explains why not. Otherwise, aReasonResourceId is 0.

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