With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Can an inherited function call a function in the inheritor?

Asked by Sowelu in C++ Programming Language

Kind of hard to describe the question, and I don't have the source yet, so here goes...

Pretty much, let's say I have a window class, with six buttons on it. Three of these are standard close/minimise/resize buttons and it handles them itself... But there will be different 'types' of windows that will inherit this window class, and the three remaining buttons will do different things depending on what's inheriting it. So I want to have it pass a number to a function in the inheriting class.

So, if I have classes A, B1 and B2, and both B1 and B2 inherit from A...
Can a function in A, call a Foobar() function that's present in B1 and B2... but with entirely different code in each? My gut instinct tells me this is illegal because it's going by a pointer to the function, not by the name, but I'm not sure.

I hope I've made it clear enough... If it isn't, tell me what isn't clear and I'll try to clarify. I can't give source, because I need to know if I can do stuff this way... It'll be a lot of work I don't want to be wasted if it isn't possible.
