This is a design pattern related question, and as such not directly related to Qt (nor C++, for that matter). Unless you would be asking "How to implement design pattern Foo best with Qt".

A 5 seconds brainstorming (after some excellent whiskeys at a friend's place) came up with the conclusion (one of a gadzillion others) that you should be following the Template pattern: provide a setter/getter pair to that (private) property in your base class, where the setter calls a (virtual) "template" method (leave it pure virtual in the base class, or provide some meaningful default implementation, which can also be "doing nothing at all".

Then in your derived class overwrite that "template" method and provide any meaningful implementation there (in the context of that derived class).

Cheers,
