I'm using 'typedmess' to send messages to an lcd. Is there a way to have 

informations about the linked object ? In this case, it'll be an lcd, so 

may i know its size ? Yes, i could send it the correct message, grab the 

result out of it and send it back to my object, but i'll be happy to

here's a snippet from my posit object, from the function which gives 

the box-coordinates are part of the box-struct of the object, namely 

since you already have an object-type pointer to the lcd-object you 

need to get the box-pointer out of it (which you also have i believe)

here's a snippet from my posit object, from the function which gives  
you object boxe coords a.o.
the box-coordinates are part of the box-struct of the object, namely  
the b_rect fields as shown below.

since you already have an object-type pointer to the lcd-object you  
need to get the box-pointer out of it (which you also have i believe)  
and then it's simple:

     t_box *b;
     myboxrect[0] = b->b_rect.left;
     myboxrect[1] = b->b_rect.top;
     myboxrect[2] = b->b_rect.right;
     myboxrect[3] = b->b_rect.bottom;
