Is it possible to write a class that inherits from timetable?

Hi. I would like to write a class that inherits from the timetable class, so that I can write my own methods (e.g. for manipulating and graphing time-series data). Is there any way to do this? Attempting to do so using:
classdef mySubClass < timetable
gives the error:
Class 'timetable' is Sealed and may not be used as a superclass.
Specifically, I'm not seeking to modify the base timetable class. I simply want to inherit from it and extend it with some specific attributes/methods.

If you go the route suggested by @Jeff Miller and want to be able to directly access the timetable properties from your "wrapper" without having to reference the property containing the timetable itself, you could also inherit from dynamicproperties and kind of "automatically" expose the timetable properties by duplicating them as dynamic properties in your "wrapper" class, and then write a generic setter/getter for them.
not perfect, but it's one way...

Hello,
As per my understanding of the query, you are trying to inherit a sealed class which is not possible. For your case though as suggested in the comments you can use a timetable as a property and add methods on that.
The following link is attached as reference to non-inheritance property of sealed class
Hope it helps
