Thanks for your suggestion. My Delphi has source code and I can find

how can a component writer inherit his new classes while he doesn't
know the functionality of the ancestor class's protected methods?
Maybe there is another way I'm not aware of it???

Even when the help files were better, the best way for component writers
to learn about what they were extending was to read the code. Use the
debugger and step through the code you hope to extend.
