i tried to read the LMO for that, but i'm a little unexperienced and cant really handle this:

is it possible to get the id of the track wich contains the device in wich i am doing this?

i've tried the id of the selected track and could look for a track, wich contains a device with same name as my device. but both options would cause trouble, e.g. when i'm using the device in more than one track.

hi there,

hope this is an easy one.
thanks and greetz

I think you send a path live_set this_device into a live.path into a t b l with the l going to a live.object the b going to a message of get canonical_parent with the live.objects output sent to a route canonical_parent object with the left outlet being sent to a message box (right inlet)

Sorry i'm away from my max4live computer so cant post you a snippet....

S4racen has the right idea here although you can make it a bit easier on yourself by simply specifying the entire path in one go, check snippet below.

To explain a little; the theory behind this is relatively simple.. When you check the 

 of the LOM you'll notice that one of its child classes is the Device type.

Which leads to the conclusion that the parent of a Device has to be the track its on (Track class). And as already mentioned by S4racen you can use the 'canonical_parent' path 'type' to go "up the ladder" so to speak.

For more information on that see the Live API overview page.

Did a small edit; forgot that you don't even need the live.object since well; guess what the live.path object feeds into live.object? ;-)

To explain a little; the theory behind this is relatively simple.. When you check the Track class of the LOM you'll notice that one of its child classes is the Device type.

var apiTrack = new LiveAPI(callback_api, "live_set view selected_track");

var apiTrack = new LiveAPI(callback_api, "live_set view selected_track");
post(apiTrack.id);


        return this.path.substr(1, this.path.length-2);//api.Patch почему-то с кавычками. Пришлось убрать кавычки

	this.getPath = function() {
		return this.path.substr(1, this.path.length-2);//api.Patch почему-то с кавычками. Пришлось убрать кавычки
	}
