In most respects, interface declarations resemble class declarations, but the following restrictions apply:. In some interface declarations, the interface reserved word is replaced by dispinterface. An interface, like a class, inherits all of its ancestors' methods. But interfaces, unlike classes, do not implement methods.
What an interface inherits is the obligation to implement methods, an obligation that is passed onto any class supporting the interface. The declaration of an interface can specify an ancestor interface. If no ancestor is specified, the interface is a direct descendant of IInterface , which is defined in the System unit and is the ultimate ancestor of all other interfaces.
Note: IInterface is equivalent to IUnknown. You should generally use IInterface for platform independent applications and reserve the use of IUnknown for specific programs that include Win32 dependencies. QueryInterface provides the means to obtain a reference to the different interfaces that an object supports.
The easiest way to implement these methods is to derive the implementing class from the TInterfacedObject of the System unit. An interface declaration can specify a globally unique identifier GUID , represented by a string literal enclosed in brackets immediately preceding the member list. Learn more. If I implement an Interface, is it called an Inheritance?

Possible duplicate of Expressing interface inheritance in natural language — gnat. Jodrell's comment is simply wrong. Implementing an interface is indeed inheritance, and inheriting one interface from another is inheritance. How do we know?
By defining the word we're using. Inheritance is the property that the inheritable members of one type are also members of another type.
By this definition, plainly a class which implements an interface has inherited all the interface's methods; just look at the class and the interface and you'll find that in a correct program, they have the same members.
I have unchecked and left with more confusion. For what it's worth, I think you're spending a lot of time on a word definition that isn't going to yield you much benefit. At the end of the day, we all know what implementing an interface means, and whether it is considered "inheritance" is largely immaterial to your daily work. I mostly agree with Robert. I think there is real value in understanding the precise technical meanings of jargon words as they are used in various contexts.
But Robert is right that it is of far greater benefit to understand the practical impact! How can you use inheritance to make your code safer? More testable? More reusable? More flexible? And so on. Knowing that members of base types are also members of derived types is great, but it is better still to know how to use it effectively. Show 8 more comments. Active Oldest Votes.
In retrospect, that isn't really relevant. Most of the requirements of the LSP maintaining invariants, restrictions on pre- and post-conditions are really only applicable to concrete implementations, not interfaces.
Having said that, the general principle of substitutability should still guide interface inheritance decisions. Liskov substitution principle: It is important to make sure that interface B can completely replace interface A.
Otherwise, you'll end up with functionality you have to implement that you don't want. This leads to extra code you don't want which makes software less stable. I have found it to work well when substituting a facade for an existing dependency that now needs a second implementation.
Instead of changing the original class and all tests to need a factory, the facade handles using the factory and returning the desired result. I use marker interfaces to inject the two different interfaces into the factory the facade will use. Only the factory knows about the "marker" interfaces. Not ideal, but I like it better than changing the existing classes.

Fair enough. I guess it depends on how "inherit" is defined. Certainly the C syntax is the same whether it's classes or interfaces. But if you think of inheritance as including the members of the parent, then your mental model doesn't match reality when you're talking about interfaces.
