I was thinking the wrapper was an IBeadLayout, otherwise you couldn't inject the wrapper via CSS without other changes. I'm not sure it has to remove itself before adding the actual bead or not. Somebody will find out if someone actually tries this.
Other ideas are fine as well. I'm just pointing out options that don't require compiler or base class changes or just-in-case code. I'm not sure how you'd inject CheckForVisibleBeforeLayoutBead in every Container in your app without doing the simple subclassing I suggested in the beginning. -Alex On 8/7/17, 11:21 PM, "Yishay Weiss" <yishayj...@hotmail.com> wrote: >But you would need to override all these calls (or remove the layout bead >from CSS) > > addBead(new (ValuesManager.valuesImpl.getValue(this, >"iBeadLayout")) as IBead); > >You wouldn’t need to if the wrapper was in itself an IBeadLayout, but >then it would have to remove itself before adding its wrapped bead. > >To me it seems the main mode of communication between beads should be >notifications.
