Hi All?

This one should be fairly straight-forward

Thanks!

This would have to be a sublass to call the base like this.  If you are within a form and wanting to call the base.MemberName of a method on the form from which you are inherited it would work fine.  However, if you are on a form and want to call the base for a button on the form, that would not work.  All base methods (unless exclicitly exposed) will be protected which would prevent you from doing this...so you would have to subclass in this case.

I may not be entirley sure of what you are trying to accomplish, but in regards to inheritance and calling a base member, this is how encapsulation and .NET are designed...as they should be.  VFP was really bad about enforcing encapsulation...we like to refer to VFP as "decapsulated"   When we go back and look at old code we always laugh at what we had done...now being "pure and clean"

If I understand you correctly, this would be a consequence of the fact that .NET does not implement a strong containership model. Or am I on Mars ?
