Really? I thought C did have inheritance, though I personally have only
ever used C++.

Go figure... learn something new every day!

Drew slips up!!! Shock!

Of course it's C++ that has inheritance (and C# and ObjectC). The
venerable C does not.

Don't ever think that a lecture on Classes and Events (and Collections)
is 'yea yea JC's goin on about classes again'!!!

There are code samples all over the net.  Even a little bit of
'tutorial' information on how it works.  But there is a pitiful lack of
explaining the actual concepts behind classes.  To C programmers, this
is almost intuitive, because one of the true bonuses of C is that it
allows inheritance.  And VB.Net is class based.  But VBA is still in the
VB 6 subset, which even though it has classes, and can use Implements (a
bastardized version of inheritance), it is far too easy to fall into a
function dependent mode.

So Go JC Go! ;)
