That depends if you're using the EMFEditProperties, but if so, that will
execute commands for each change and you'd need to call undo enough
times on the command stack to deal with cancel...

To the start of the command's execution...

Yes, but given that you've executed commands, I imagine you should be
undoing those so that the command stack has no trace of the canceled
changes...

Yes, it makes commands for you, but you'd need to undo those commands,
not simply change the model's state back with direct model changes...
So you might add a command stack listener that listens for how many
commands are executed from when the dialog is opened up to before cancel
is pressed and then call undo that number of times if cancel is pressed.
