Hello,

can you tell me if this compilation error is normal ?

class Texture
{
	public this()
	{
		
	}
}

class Control
{
	private Texture m_texture;
	
	 property
	{
		public Texture texture()
		{
			return this.m_texture;
		}
		
		public void texture(Texture value)
		{
			this.m_texture = value;
		}
	}
}

class PictureBox : Control
{
	 property
	public override void texture(Texture value)
	{
		writeln("override");
		this.m_texture = value;
	}
}

import std.stdio;
	
void main()
{
	auto picture = new PictureBox();
	
	writeln(picture.texture is null);
	
}

Error: function f340.PictureBox.texture (Texture value) is not 
callable using argument types ()

I can't use property getter if I override the setter property.

Yes, that's normal. If you override one function in a child 
class, you need to explicitly bring in the other overrides by 
adding

alias texture = Control.texture; // I think you can also use 
`super.texture`

in the class with the new override. That tells it to look up the 
name from the parent as well.

The rationale is here: http://dlang.org/hijack.html

It isn't just properties btw, any case of overloads is subject to 
the same rule.
