# Inheritance Management

Intended audience: developers, Programming language: c++, java, python

- A TANGO device class inherite from a DeviceImpl class. It could also inherite from another TANGO device class.

- To inherite from another TANGO device class, use Add Inheritance Class in class creation window.

- Inheritance is not simply used as template.

    That means that `*.h` and `*.cpp` files of inherited class must be in `Makefile`.

- Inheritance could be done from a class containing code and not only from pure abstract class.

- An inheritance diagram is displayed on right side and all classes in this diagram are edited.

- A color code display if items are abstract or concrete.
