Hi,
I'm trying to see if there's a shorter way for the patch I made. Essentially, I have a row of toggle-guis and I'm storing their positions (0 or 1) into an array. I'm using the [send] object to do it- see the attached file. Now, I'd like to be able to do the other way around as well - meaning to send info from the array to the guis. For that, I'm dumping the values of the array as a list and then using

to send each value to the appropriate gui.
So, is there another way to do it?
Hope to get your advice here.

ps
What happens if I have like 100 toggle-guis? Will I need to have send message for each? Why do I have a feeling that the answer is "yes"?

You could use a set message to change the target of a single send.

[for++ 0 99]

[t f f ]
/ \
[tabread togglestate] [set toggle-$1 (
\ /
[send]

Each toggle would need its own receive symbol, toggle-0, toggle-1, etc.

Hi emacpher,
Thanks a lot! great idea...

BTW,
For some reasons [send] object does not like [set( messages anymore. You need to use [symbol( message instead...

you could use Maelstorm's state saving abstractions like in the test-patch

Hi Gromit,
Thanks for your note...I see that it works great but will need some time to understand how Maelstorm's abstractions do the job
