Can a base class pointer call methods in the derived class?

[ZhiYi]

I have a base class pointer which is assigned a derived class. Can this pointer call methods in the derived class which are not declared in the base class?

i.e.

class BaseClass
{
........
};

class DerivedClass : public BaseClass
{
void Print(); //declared in DerivedClass only
.......
};


BaseClass* ReturnClassType()
{
//some method logic here
.............

DerivedClass* dc;
return dc;
}


BaseClass* bc = ReturnClassType();
bc->Print();

When I called print() using the base class pointer, there is a compile error saying that the method is not found in the base class.

Is it possible for base class pointers to call methods declared in the derived class only?
