hi all, is there a way to get the send- and receive-symbols/messages of gui-objects which are ? for example, click a toggle with a specific send/receive assigned in the properties, say, properties -> messages -> send-symbol: send-toggle1, next one send-toggle2, whatever - click it and get these properties somewhere... ?? know what i mean??

You mean get the names of the internal sends and receives? Just right-click the object and select properties. You can see and set them there.

Hey Maelstorm, sorry for babbling, no what i mean is a way to catch the internal send/receive name and receive it somewhere else in the patch (in a message or so) when the object is clicked or banged... maybe there is a message or something that can do so...

There's no way to set this behavior on the gui object itself. But:
a) you can set the snd/rcv names of an iemgui like bng to the arguments from an abstraction (i.e., $1 or $2)
you can make an abstraction gop, which means you can show gui content from inside the patch, like a bng object.

Therefore, you can make an abstraction like the one attached called snitch-bng that takes two arguments: the first argument for the send-symbol and the second for the receive symbol. Then I just print out those two arguments whenever the object is clicked and voila! You have a gui that prints out its s/r symbols.

Pd abstractions are quite powerful.

Hey jancsika, your attachments aren't working. Make sure you don't preview the comment first when attaching, because for some reason that deletes the attachment.

Thanks. Here it is.
