Hides inherited member UIBehaviour.Start()?

I am trying to do a custom mesh for some UI code and I have a simple class derived from UI.Graphic and in there I have a Start() method but I get a warning:

I tried doing private override Start() and new Start() what is the correct way to get rid of this warning? I look at all the various examples for derived classes in Unity example code and they just have void Start() so a bit confused.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public class MyCircleGraph : Graphic
3. {
4.     public Mesh mesh;
5.  
6.     void Start()
7.     {
8.         mesh = new Mesh();
9.     }
10. }
11.  

 

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. protected override void Start()
3. {
4.      base.Start();  // make sure base init stuff gets done
5. }
6.  

 

Before you ask; that requires Start in the base class to be declared as protected virtual, otherwise you'll get a compilation error.

 

Good point. The doc doesn't state that it's virtual. If it's not, that would be unfortunate.

It actually is! Sorry, my bad, didn't see that it was a non-monobehaviour.

 

I do appreciate the fact that with the new UI and Networking stuff that they're doing a lot more virtual methods and less magic string stuff.
