The editor interfaces work pretty much the same as they do in the old-style API, but with new names and new bugs.

IOTAEditor: Base interface for other editors. This interface defines the common aspects of editors, e.g., file name, reference to the module interface, etc.
IOTASourceEditor: Interface to a source file. Edit readers, edit writers, and edit views are the same as in the old-style API, except that they are now COM interfaces.
IOTAProjectResource: Interface to a project's resource file. Works the same as in the old-style API, except using COM interfaces.
IOTAFormEditor: Interface to a form editor. You can get an IOTAComponent interface for each component on the form.
IOTAComponent: Component interface. The following methods raise access violations if you try to use them:

Delete Focus GetChildren GetParent Select SetProp SetPropByName

INTAComponent: Cast an IOTAComponent interface to INTAComponent to get a native interface, which lets you access the component instance directly. Once you have the component reference, you can do anything you want.
