access modifier in c++

In C++ any i can simulate some restricted access modifiers based on
association & inheritance?
eg,
class BombMaker{
private:
void makeAtomBomb(){
std::cout<<"mak ing atom bomb\n";
}
int getSecretFormul a()const{return 51;}
protected:
void makeRDX(){
std::cout<<"mak ing RDX\n";
}
int getRDXFormula() const{return 101;}
std::vector<Bom bMaker*helpers;
public:
void makeFireCracker (){
std::cout<<"mak ing firecrackers\n" ;
}
void makeAtomBombFor (BombMaker& m){
m.makeAtomBomb( );
}
void stealFormula(Bo mbMaker& o){
int formula = o.getSecretForm ula();
}
};

here,
BombMaker* bad = new BombMaker();
BombMaker* notSoBad = new BombMaker();
bad->makeAtomBombFo r(*notSoBad);/// i want this to work as now it
works. so another bomb maker can give the bad one to make a bomb for
him.
bad->stealFormula(* notSoBad);/// but bad one even can steal the
formula for the bomb through association with notSoBad. That should
not be allowed as the formula is only for personal use and is
dangerous for world. Can private be made exclusive so that association
is not allowed for private?
ie, essentially getSecretFormul a() can only be used by the object
itself.

secondly,
i have a derived class,
class DestructiveBudd y : public BombMaker{
public:
void getFormula(Bomb Maker& o){//1
int formula = o.getRDXFormula ();
}
void getFormulaFrom( DestructiveBudd y o){
int formula = o.getRDXFormula ();
}
void acquireFormula( ){
int formula = getRDXFormula() ;
}
void getFromHelpers( ){//2
for(std::size_t i = 0; i< helpers.size(); ++i){
helpers[i]->getRDXFormula( );
}
}
};
now is there any way to have a protected modifier which allows an
DestructiveBudd y to getFromula from a BombMaker also (as he himself is
a BombMaker) as in (1) along with other DestructiveBudd y's.
In the same way, an DestructiveBudd y object also want's all of the
helper which it has, to give the RDXFormula to him as all of them are
BombMaker and so is DestructiveBudd y himself, but not to anyone who is
not a BombMaker.
So unlike the previous case, where private through association is not
required, here protected through association is require.

Thanks

I have read conflicting information on the access scope of VB.Net class declarations when no access modifier is specified. MSDN library documentation states "Classes that do not specify an access modifier are declared as Friend by default" However, another source, VB.Net Class Design Handbook by Wrox Press states that no a "no class access modifier results in an implicit scope of public to all assemblies". In fact, if I create a class...

I am messing around with Web User Controls at present and (think) I have discovered the following. 1.) The identifier for the control in the code behind must match the ID for the control on the page. 2.) The identifier must be delcared with a minimum access of 'Protected' in order to work. If the above is indeed correct, then I have made the following assumptions

What is the cleanest way to gain access to object methods and properties across classes and files in the same namespace? Example: A form object frmForm in file frmForm.cs creates obj1 defined in file obj1.cs, which in turn creates obj2 and obj3 defined in obj2.cs and obj3.cs, respectively. What is the canonical way for frmForm to access obj2 and obj3? For obj3 to access frmForm?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
