/** describes a controller which can be used to browse and modify properties of form controls.

    <p>The controller can be plugged into an <type scope="com::sun::star::frame">XFrame</type>, and will
    provide a visual component for inspecting control properties. This means it allows to interactively control
    several aspects of a <type>FormControlModel</type> or <type>DataAwareControlModel</type>, such as it's
    data binding, it's layout, and it's event binding</p>

    <p>For using a PropertyBrowserController, you need to
    <ul><li>instantiate it at a service factory of your choice</li>
        <li>attach it to an empty frame of your choice</li>
        <li>set the IntrospectedObject property to the control model which you wish to analyze</li>
    </ul>
    </p>

    @example Java
    <listing>
        XFrame xFrame = getNewEmptyFrame();
        XMultiServiceFactory xORB = getORB();
        XPropertySet xControlModel = getMyControlModel();

        // instantiate the controller
        XController xController = (XController)UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XController.class,
            xORB.createInstance( "com.sun.star.form.PropertyBrowserController" ) );

        // marry the controller and the frame. This will cause the controller
        // to create a visual component within the frame to inspect our object
        xController.attachFrame( xFrame )

        // tell the controller which object to inspect
        XPropertySet xControllerProps = (XPropertySet)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
            XPropertySet.class, xController );

        xControllerProps.setPropertyValue( "IntrospectedObject", xControlModel );
    </listing>

    @see com::sun::star::frame::XController

    @deprecated
        <p>Note that nowadays, this service is only a legacy wrapper using the
        <type scope="com::sun::star::inspection">ObjectInspector</type> and the
        <type scope="com::sun::star::form::inspection">DefaultFormComponentInspectorModel</type> services, and knitting them together.</p>

        using this controller can be separated into 3 groups: common aspects, data-awareness
        related aspects, and bound events.</br>
        The appearance of the visual component created by the controller is that 3 tab pages, one for
        each group, are displayed (of course if the control does not support any aspects of a given group,
        the group is omitted).<br/>
