a problem about the black box functionality of visual tools

Hi i have used visual tools object to make a functioning container that holds a sub-model, i hope these object inside are invisible to other users,so i hide these contents. and i want to make users feel this visualtools as an object,users can pay no attention to the dragconnection line inside this object.so i use the "Container Funcionality" to set the "Pass Input Connect Actions To" to the object that should be connected to the input port. i find this function is good when using between visualtools and FixResource object.but when i use this between visualtools and visualtools, the problem appeared. the dragconnection inside the fromobject(visualtools 1) is ok, but the dragconnection inside toobject(visualtools2) is not successful as the model show in the attachment. problem about black box functionality.fsm so i feel the black box functionality of visual tools is incomplete can anyone give me some advices to solve this problem?

Hello Oliver,

it is quite simple. You have a connection from the source inside the container to the container itself. You need such connection in the second container, too. If you build a object connection (A-Type) from the second container to the queue inside this container, you can connect the two visual tools and the flow will work.

hi Jörg
thanks for your reply.
i know your method will work ,but i want to do the dragconnection from the second container to the queue automatically. because these two visualtools are black boxs ,other user can not see the objects inside,and also the dragconnection line inside. i want to do all dragconnections in one time.

Hello Oliver,
before you make the container to a black box, you can build such a connection, can't you?
Edit: Now I have seen what you want. The automatic connection works out of the visual tool but not into the visual tool.

hi Jörg
yes ,i can build such a connection befoe give it to other users, but the number of dragconnections between the both black boxes i can not control. and that way is not the real black box functionality should behave.
