Chapter 10 - Type Inheritance Inheritance of Category Properties and Components
If you create the type Regular as a subtype of OrderRecord, it is a duplicate of
OrderRecord. It has the same components and properties.
Now, you can modify the definition of Regular. Suppose its delimiter is not a
comma; it is an asterisk. Open the Properties window for the type Regular and
change the delimiter to
*.
Note When a delimiter of a group is specified as a syntax item, that delimiter is also
inherited. When a comment type is specified, this is also inherited.
Inheritance of Category Properties and Components
Categories can be used for organizing types and for inheritance reasons.
Generally, you would use categories when you want to put items, groups, and
possibly other categories under it as subtypes.
Regular inherits the
properties and
components of
OrderRecord
