Howard M. Lewis Ship updated TAP5-720:
--------------------------------------
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
Affects Version/s: 5.2
5.3
Summary: Many components are difficult to extend because fields
are private and have no accessors (was: Extending componts is not possible)
Fields must be private. That's a given, see the documentation.
In terms of extending them; add specific cases for component properties or
parameters you need access to, but consider using mixins and/or composition
rather than subclassing. And, I'm afraid, a bit of cut-and-paste.

> object)!
> Or is the a reason (which I can not imagine ) for making them "private"?
