Ken Getz: Taking Advantage of Inheritance in Windows Forms




Subject:  A Windows form is just a class, and as such, your forms can inherit from other forms, and can be inherited from. What does this get you? Form-based inheritance allows you to create base classes that can form the basis for other forms, and make it incredibly easy to create new forms and controls. If you're creating applications for Windows users, you owe it to yourself to master the skills involved in form-based inheritance. This sessions demonstrates what's going on with Windows forms, how to inherit and be inherited, and how to use inheritance to create new controls and to extend the functionality of existing controls.
