Which functionality can you only achieve through inheritance, and what
can you manage with composition?

For instance, if you need your control to appear as part of a tab-set,
then you probably need to derive from TTabSheet.  However, you can give
your control a single TCustomPanel as a data member, and forward all
calls you want to support.

If you could explain a little more about what you want to achieve, it
would be easier to guess the best compromise solution <g>

Mixing a Panel and a TabSheet does not sound too difficult from the
things I can imagine doing with it, but I don't like to limit
applications to just my own imagination!!

Note: Just because it may be 'simple' does not mean it will not be a
lot of seemingly-redundant work with a lot of call forwarding!!
