    <p>Say I have my own built class (I won't cite an example due to length) X, and in the protected section, has a class Y (from an external library I cannot modify, and cannot use inheritance from the class as the member definitions are hidden).</p> <p>Class Y has about 40 functions. 20 of those I don't want the user to be able to access or modify as it would entail broken functionality (prevented by protected status in class X currently), but the other 20 functions I want the user to be able to access and thus modify class Y (<em>almost</em> as if they had direct access minus the so-called 'dangerous' functions).</p> <p>Without writing out 20 functions in class X which are exact duplicates of class Y, is there any easier and faster way to grant the user access to the 20 or so functions (like some sort of function forwarding ability or something)?</p> <p><strong>Expanded note:</strong></p> <p>It's a bit tricky, because there's a library function that takes a class Y (but won't accept a class X, and people complain at me for casting between classes). Class X is supposed to automate and store information for class Y's operations, <strong>be able return a (const) class Y for the function</strong>, and allow the user to modify the simple things (such as position of the object) but not the automated things (images, image loop).</p> <p>Class X being a type of class Y works in automated functions but doesn't allow class X to return a class Y (not being able to reference itself, a modified version of class Y, again, people will complain at me for casting between classes).</p>

    1. COIf it where me, I would make Y public and make a nice documentation telling which functions they should and which they shouldn't use. But again, I'm more of a C programmer...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
