Visual Inheritance newbie question

[Tim Pauly]

Suppose I use Visual Inheritance to create a base form with some
controls on it, and a child form which inherits from it. Is it
possible to modify the properties of the inherited controls in the
child form either with the visual designer or programmatically? For
example, to change the location and size of the inherited controls?

thanks

as long as they are publicly accessable then yes.. if they are private then
no... (inheritance is based on public, private, or friend types)

Yes, if the modifier of the control is <> 'Private'.

Thanks to all who replied to my posting.

I just noticed that inherited controls cannot be deleted. But that
shouldn't be a problem because I could hide a control if needed.

thanks again
