  Abstract:
    TComponentTreeView is a component to show the child components of a
    TComponent. TControls are shown in a hierachic view.
    It supports
      - multi selecting components
      - editing the creation order
      - editing the TControl.Parent hierachy
    For an usage example, see the object inspector.
