I have implemented an InputBox dialogue, I would like to change the
access modifier of the Form::Show method from public to private, but the
following code does not do that. What else do I need to do? Thanks.

There's nothing you can do. The way that inheritance works, a caller
should be able to treat an instance of your class as an instance of
Form - including calling the Show method. If you don't want to expose a
Show method, you shouldn't derive from Form.
