Calling "Select_Device" works using a mouse but not if I midi map it 2 a control

Hi! I have a patch here the makes a "Select_Device" call to focus on the device in the Live GUI. It woks great as long as i press the button with the mouse, but if i try and assign the button to a midi or key map it doesn't work! I'm perplexed. I'd like to be able to press a button on my controller and direct focus on the device, but i can't get it to work without using a mouse to point and click! Anybody have any ideas as to why this might be happening? I've attached a patch.

Try inserting [deferlow] after the button.

Did the trick! Of course now it select's the parent device rather than the floating window, but it works! Thanks!
