Hi,

I'm writing a general class that has a protected function called PutData(). I have several other classes that are inherited from this general class.

In one of these subclasses I would like PutData() to be a public method. Is this possible ?

My workaround for now is to create another method for the child class, Put(), that calls PutData() of the base class. This may give me problems later, if I would change PutData() in the base class. Therefore, I'd like a better solution.

By the way, is this right ?
* Protected methods cannot be executed by the user, but can be executed in the method code of the class or it's child classes.
* Hidden methods are only accessible in the class itself.
(I'm used to C++, therefore I'm a bit confused.)

Thanks, Marc Van Riet.
