While compiling Turbopower vPlanIt I found that in eg. VpDateEdit, error
insight tell about an error in using a published property declared in an
ancestor class, but not in the primary ancestor.

Since it still compiles ok, but mark as an error, I would think this is
a bug ??

Or if not, an irritating feature since it would mean we would be
suggested to look for an non-existing bug.

In this case, it seems to be a solution to declare the property also in
the immediate ancestor class.

Eg. in VpCalendar, TvpCalendar declare font as a inherited property, but
since its ancestorclass tVpCustomCalendar don't declare the same
property, while tVpCustomCalendar's ancestor TVpLinkableControl do
publish it, the use of font in VpCalendar gives a red underline and a
message about not declared variable.

Is this reported in QC ???

Or is it an wellknown artefact ?
