C++/CX inheritance introduction

C++/CX is an extension of C++ language designed to use the Windows Runtime (WinRT) to build Windows Store applications, or reusable components for the different supported languages: JavaScript, NET (C#, VB.NET, etc.) and C++.

WinRT is a native API that uses a simplified version of the COM technology. This technology is based on interfaces, and does not support by default class inheritance, except for XAML classes. Therefore, this feature applies to C++/CX language in which we should favor the use of interfaces, except for some XAML use cases.
