Bill,


Here's the class structure you have as I understadn your message


txtBase ------->> InGrid -------->> Ingrid2

and you want to bypass some of the behavior in the Ingrid class from the Ingrid2 class. I would suggest that the problem is in the class design and that the class structure that you really need is;

------>> InGrid
TxtBase |
------>> InGrid2

This remove Ingrid2 as a subclass of InGrid and thus removes the need to bypass Ingrids method code in the inheritence tree.
