<div>I tried, it seems ok, but I am not sure, because I had a
strange access violation in my code which I cannot reproduce
in simplified version of the code, so I suspect this might
be an invalid use and "correct by coincidence"?</div>

You can always use "inherited" to call a method of the given name in
the next parent class that has such a method (Note: there are a few
exceptions: If no such methods exist (compile time error) and if the
method is abstract (also compile time error))<br>
