In addition to the Neil Tonkin's post:
you can change the accessibility of an objects property/method from the Class designer:
Open your class, then from the menu choose:
Class|Edit Property/Methodfrom the form that appears you can set the accessibility of the method/property you want. (you can also create ASSIGN & ACCESS methods for your properties from this window)
