Extending SalesForce objects

I need to have a Boolean 'selected' field to display a checkbox in a pageBlockTable.

 

Please tell me I can do this:

 


    public class ibPricebookEntry extends PricebookEntry
    {
        Boolean selected;
        
        public Boolean getSelected() {
            return selected;
        }
        
        public void setSelected(Boolean s) {
            selected = s;
        }
    }

 
 
Right now, I get this message at compile time:
 
Error: Compile Error: addProductsToQuote.ibPricebookEntry: Non-exception class must extend another user-defined non-exception class: PricebookEntry 
 
Anything else special I need to add to my custom class ? 
 
I hope I do not need to add a Boolean field in the PricebookEntry object !

I think you can only extend custom classes, not standard object classes.
You could embed your standard object in the custom class, a little messier, but might work for you.
 
 
public class ibPricebookEntry
    {
        Boolean selected {get; set;}
        PricebookEntry pbe {get; set;}
    }
