i would like to have information in my patche (like the number of parameters written in the max window) when i plug a plugin in [vst~]. but nothing comes out [vst~] outlets. and i can't send message to [vst~] before i'm sure the plugin is plugged.

it's just because i want to send the values of parameters to a multislider as soon as is plugged or just after.

i didn't find it in the doc.

i suppose with "plugged" you mean that it has 

unfortunately we dont know when. just put a 2000

milliseconds delay onto the process you want to

perform after the plug-in has ben loaded, thats 

safe for 99% of the plug-ins on any ~1Ghz computer.

i suppose with "plugged" you mean that it has 
finished loading?

I needed more occasionally. It depends a lot of how much is going on 

When I came across this I put a big demand on such a feature, I hope it 

had been listened. This is as crucial as the bang outlet on the buffer~ 

and some other loading objects. It should be easy, because if Max is 

able to print to the Max window, it should be easy to just add a bang to

elsewise.

an additional outlet to that function...
