    """Base Class to ease the implementation of User Interfaces

    Inherits the MixIns ActionManager and ParameterManager classes. You have to subclass some methods and make
    concrete implementation of a given number of methods:

    * setup_actions: mandatory, see :class:`pymodaq.utils.managers.action_manager.ActionManager`
    * value_changed: non mandatory, see :class:`pymodaq.utils.managers.parameter_manager.ParameterManager`
    * child_added: non mandatory, see :class:`pymodaq.utils.managers.parameter_manager.ParameterManager`
    * param_deleted: non mandatory, see :class:`pymodaq.utils.managers.parameter_manager.ParameterManager`
    * setup_docks: mandatory
    * setup_menu: non mandatory
    * connect_things: mandatory
