+     *
+     *  Client can query Accessor() interface from this class
+     *  and can set Accessor to Multi-item Widgets.
+     *
+     * <b>Note:</b> <b><i>There has been a change in the way multi-item widget accesses 
+	 * the data model (for other widgets continue to set the model to the widget in the same way). 
+	 * The widget gets a restrictive access to the data model via IMulModelAccessor
+	 * interface. The new way of assigning model to the widget is shown in the
+	 * example given below. The client applications can't access the IMulModelAccessor
+	 * interface anymore as its not export from now on.</i></b>
