TBasicAction implements a basic action class from which all actions are derived. It introduces all basic methods of an action, and implements functionality to maintain a list of clients, i.e. components that are connected with this action.
Do not create instances of TBasicAction. Instead, create a descendant class and create an instance of this class instead.
