Implementation Inheritance Example for VB6
Version Compatibility: Visual Basic 6, Visual Basic 5
The advantages of true implementation inheritance is that if you have several objects that share like properties or methods, you can group these shared properties and methods into one generic super class. Then these specific sub classes can inherit the super class. This will give add all the properties and methods of the super class to the sub classes. This is really good for code reuse. If you have 5 subclasses inheriting from a super class and have to make a change to one of the shared methods, you can change it in one place and not in 5. the change to the superclass will 'trickle down' to the sub classes.
