For shadowed properties you would have to do:

   Return SuperClassName(me).Visible

I've done that with computed properties, but never tried having a  
subclass with a getter with the same name name as a superclass  
property and so don't know if that works.
Of course shadowing is fragile for EXACTLY the reason shown above ...  
Casting can cause difficult to trackdown  bugs because of that  
behavior... that said, it's still useful sometimes ... if you are  
very careful.
