-
Open the property sheet of a child class, and display the attribute tab.

Click the Inherited button.
The Inherited Attributes dialog box is displayed. It contains the attributes of the parent class.
-
Select one or several attributes in the list.
-
Click the Override button.

-
Click Close.
The attributes appear in the child class list of attributes. You can modify their initial value in the corresponding column.

Click OK.
