Hi all, this must be a terribly basic question but what is the C equivalent of javascript's sendnamed method?

I want to send a symbol to all like-named receive objects in a max patch from my external but I can't seem to find anything about this in the docs.

    static Symbol* sSymThrough = NIL;

    Object* thing = (Object*) iRecip->s_thing;

    // Initialize our static symbol first time through

        sSymThrough = gensym("through");

    // Make sure we have a vaild thing

    if (thing == NIL)                            return;        // no good

    if (thing->o_magic != MAGIC)                return;        // still no good

    if (ob_class(thing)->c_sym != sSymThrough)    return;        // last check

    // If we make it to here, we're good to go

    typedmess(thing, iMsg, iArgC, iArgV);

This is working, tested code. Sorry about the Forum formatting.

There is more useful stuff like this for Litter Pros.

void
ForwardAnything(
	Symbol*	iRecip,
	Symbol*	iMsg,
	short	iArgC,
	Atom	iArgV[])

	Object* thing = (Object*) iRecip->s_thing;

	// Initialize our static symbol first time through
	if (sSymThrough == NIL)
		sSymThrough = gensym("through");

	// Make sure we have a vaild thing
	if (thing == NIL)							return;		// no good
	if (thing->o_magic != MAGIC)				return;		// still no good
	if (ob_class(thing)->c_sym != sSymThrough)	return;		// last check

	// If we make it to here, we're good to go
	typedmess(thing, iMsg, iArgC, iArgV);

Wow Peter, that's great! Thanks a lot, it works flawlessly.

Wouldn't it be nice to include this in the docs, cycling?

Do you mean Litter Pro includes code examples?

Not everyone wants or needs the source code, which is why this is an on-request thing.
