I would like to let the end user of my .mxf zoom in or out the GUI I built in presentation mode.

Max5 lets permits this via comand + and comand-

Do you know any trick to tell the .mxf to zoom in or out itslef?

I had a quick look at "thispatcher" object but I can't see a way to do this to the whole patch, only resize (not zooming) objects.

The ideal solution could be a - and + buttons in GUI to zoom at will.

Max5Runtime doens't AFAIK.

I don't think it's possible in the Runtime, only in the full version. Would be nice but I remember there's a good reason it's not available, can't remember the details.

I also get some crashes if I zoom out wayyy far and the patch is really big, but that's at like 10000-plus pixels, which is kind of insane anyways.

As an alternative to zoom, you can make a nav window to auto-scroll big patches using .js, search on the forums for the code, it's easy.

you send the x,y as a list from Max, gotten from a pictslider in a floating window. that's your nav panel. just scale the output to the size you need.
