  13. Howard,
  14.  
  15. Regarding your comment on Object Pascal in "Re-Re>Dimming TEditText":
  16.  
  17. >you can only call INHERITED for a method which you have overidden and then
  18. >from within that overiding method
  19.  
  20.  
  21.     This is certainly how INHERITED is normally used, but there is no such
  22. language restriction.  Code like:
  23.  
  24. >       PROCEDURE TYourEditText.ViewEnable(state, redraw: BOOLEAN);
  25. >       BEGIN
  26. >           INHERITED ViewEnable(state, kDontRedraw);
  27. >           INHERITED DimState(NOT state, redraw);
  28. >       END;
  29.  
  30.  
  31. is rare (after all, it was written by James!), but it is legal.
