Multiple Inheritance

The principle by which classes of windows receive their properties "from different sides of the family" is called multiple inheritance.

An Info Box (class), indicated by a fat dot, inherits its properties from two superclasses:

· From a Base Table superclass (indicated by a horizontal line), and

 

· From an Info Window, Related Window, Lookup Window, or Subtype Window superclass (indicated by vertical lines).

Horizontally, an info box (class) inherits content, look, and feel. Vertically, a (class) inherits look and feel.

NOTE:

This multiple inheritance mechanism may cause conflicts when contradicting look and feel properties are inherited from both parents. In such situations, USoft Developer will be the judge.
