I'm trying to write an mxj kinda-alternative to autopattr and company. I want to interface max UI stuff with JMSL (algomusic.com) to record presets and play back my actions.

I REALLY want to do this without wires. I can easily send messages to arbitrary MaxBoxes, but I can't seem to figure out how to make java respond when I click (for instance) a bangbutton that isn't wired to the mxj.

Any ideas? I tried implementing MessageReceiver but it seems that it only receives events from AudioBuffer.

No ideas? Topher (I think you're the most qualified!)?

I have the same problem in javascript. The way I do this now is to put a pattr outside the js (in your case mxj) object, reserve a special inlet for it, bind it to the pattr where your input enters the patch. You know about the existence of pattrmarker? That one makes this more easy to bind to a remote place.

Oh and make sure you have the latest incremental download of pattr. The default one doesn't update if its bound counterpart updates.

(wow, email notification is great! would've definitely missed this...)

Thanks for the info, Mattijs! I'm not completely sure of what you mean, and I don't have time to mess around in Max (on holiday skiing - opened the computer to check the online ski report).

thanks VERY much - this was great timing, by the way - I'm about to have a lot more time to Max.

I thought about this a bit more. The pattr wouldn't be wired to the mxj/js.

I don't know about pattrmarker. I feel like I've heard of it but I just did a quick search and didn't turn up anything obvious.

Is it possible to use either Java or JavaScript to copy a string from 

Max to the clipboard (Mac OS X and Windows XP)?

You can do it with Java:

this should be close if you just want to copy To the system clipboard.

import java.awt.datatransfer.ClipboardOwner;

import java.awt.datatransfer.Transferable;

import java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection;

public class toclipboard extends MaxObject implements ClipboardOwner

public void setClipboardContents( String aString ){

StringSelection stringSelection = new StringSelection( aString );

Clipboard clipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit 

clipboard.setContents( stringSelection, this );

* Empty implementation of the ClipboardOwner interface.

public void lostOwnership( Clipboard aClipboard, Transferable

This is quickly made, but should give you enough information to start  
with.

Aww, I just made one and in the meantime Topher and Emmanuel beat me to it!

Anyway, just for completeness; put the attached jar file somewhere 

useful and hack the source to your heart's content.

What about inclusion in Max v5?
