If you want to gain access to an encapsulated feature of a bean, you must
tear off the property. To tear off a property:
- Select Tear off property from the pop-up menu of the bean with
the property you want to access. Another menu appears listing all of
the properties of the bean.
- Select the property you want to tear off. The mouse pointer is now
loaded with a variable bean representing or pointing to the property you
selected.
- Place the new bean on the free-form surface, as you would any other
nonvisual bean. The torn-off property now appears as a variable bean
connected to the original bean by a property-to-property connection.
