>I know that, in one way, inheritance is useful is eliminating a duplicate code. But I was wondering how much it is useful in terms of making the application .EXE smaller. Here is an example:

No,
When you build your application VFP automatically will add that class into the project.
If you hide it somehow you will not be able to compile your project.
