Well, virtual methods are not abstract anymore, are they?
Then the dialog would need another name.
But beside this obvious reason, I see none.

You can select Notification in the completion box. For example:
If your class has not yet a 'protected' section add one.
Then add a new line. Press Ctrl-Space. Type 'no' to select Notification
procedure. Press return. The header is added. Now press Ctrl+Shift+C.
