Overriding an Operation Inherited from a Parent Class

The Inherited Operations dialog box allows you to:


Within the context of an inheritance, you can add to a class an operation that belongs to a parent class, this is called overriding. The operation of the parent class is said to be overriden when this operation is redefined in a child class.

The new operation has the same signature (name and parameters) as the original operation. Once you add an operation to a class, you can only modify the code implementation of the operation. You cannot modify the signature of the operation.
