Unfortunately, on Windows, the hi object only shows devices such as gamepads and joysticks. It doesn't let you use the mouse or keyboard, like the Mac version does.

Could it be the case you're trying to access the mouse or keyboard, or do you have a valid device connected? If you have, could it be related to the 64 bit version you're using? That's the only thing that comes to my mind...

Hi Pedro,

You can always access the keyboard through the "key" and "keyup" objects.

The only drawback is that these objects don't work while Max is in the background, they only work if the Max patch is the "front window". It's a shame because there's no way to invoke a "global shortcut" (independent of the current front window) to activate a certain process...

That's one of several annoying differences between the Mac and Windows versions...

I hope someone knows how to enable the HI Menu on Windows!

Is possible Cycling74 allows no way to do it?!

 This is not good at all...
