Override question

[Sorwen]

I have an object that is NotInheritable. The event I need to access for this object is protected. The question I come to as I think of it is there a way to addhandler to a protected event? Or how can you override a protected event when you cannot Inherit from an object?

YOu have to use composition than and withevents. If you only need to override one event that could work.

Thanks. I'll have to look into composition.

<how can you override a protected event when you cannot Inherit from an object

Well, you can't, given that "overriding" means changing the implementation of a method of a base class. By definition, that means that you have to inherit from the base class in order to override anything from it.

I'm getting the feeling that you're trying to override the event handler's signature for some reason. Can you explain further what you're trying to do and why?
