How to disable some base class method?

class Base {
public:
void t1() {}
void t2() {}
void t3() {};

};
class Derived : public Base
{
public:

private:
using Base::t1;
using Base::t3;

};

Derived d;

d.t1(); // error, this is what I want
d.t3(); // error, this is what I want
d.Base::t1(); // ok <== I don't want user call method this way

my question:
I don't want user to call t1(); and t3(); from class Derived
Is there any way?

There's nothing to stop them doing

Base& b(d);
b.t1();

why do you want to do this?

I just wanto to disable Derived object call t1(); and t3();

so this way is OK
Base& b(d);
b.t1();

somethimes I want to inherit Base class that has many method
but some Base class's method I don't want it ( the reason is maybe I
think those method is NOT good or NOT safe .. etc)

If I use the following way, it's waste time to copy and paste when Base
class has many method
But I just don't want some of them

class D
{
public:
void t2() { m_base.t2(); }

private:
Base m_base;
};

Sounds a bit of a design smell to me. If that's what you want, make
them private in Base and public in Derived.

Base class is not mine... it's maybe a system class framework...

The make it a private base of Derived and expose the methods you want
through Derived.

class Derived : protected Base

Is there a way of defining a method in a base class such that derived classes will call their own version, EVEN if the derived instance is referred to by a pointer to the base class? Note that the base class method is not to be abstract, and will be called if the instance was created as a 'generic' base class instance. It's sort of like I want the method to be abstract to children, but concrete at the base level. That way I can refer to...

Question: Why can't you access a private inherited field from a base class in a derived class? I have a *theory* of how this works, of which, I'm not completely sure of but makes logical sense to me. So, I'm here for an answer (more of a confirmation), hopefully. First let me say that I know people keep saying; it doesn't work because the member "is a private". I believe there's more to it than just simply that... Theory: You inherit,...

Hi, How Do I create an instance of a derived class from an instance of a base class, essentially wrapping up an existing base class with some additional functionality. The reason I need this is because I am not always able to control/create all the different constructors the base class has. My problem can be described in code as follows ... /* This is the base class with a whole heap of constructors/functionality*/ public class Animal

I have a question about overriding i was wondering if anyone could help me with, or even suggesting a better/different way. I have no idea if this can even be done or not. I was wondering if there was anyway to force a class to call a base class's method that it is overriding? Almost the same way you have to call a base class's constructor if it has arguments.
