Anybody?

max7 umenu is not as much customizable as it was in max6. Although you can go with live.menu who has more parameters to change.

Thank you!

I'll give live.menu a try.

All the best to you!

How do you change the items in a live menu? I see the Range/Enum 'hidden' parameter, but I'm not sure how to use it. I get "live.menu doesn't understand 'Range/Enum'.

You can edit using the inspector.

But you may be referring to the problem I am currently having with live.menu.

As far as I can tell, you can't 'load it on the fly' like you can umenu.

For instance, you can have midiinfo 'bang' a list of MIDI devices into umenu for selection.

But I haven't been able to figure out how to do that with live.menu.

Anyone have any ideas?

Yeah, a menu that can only be filled by typing in the inspector is only useful for a handful of things.

I guess I don't need different colors that bad ;) I haven't discovered any other way in which live.menu is superior.

Agreed.

Seems to me this is something that should be addressed with an update... (i.e. making umenu be completely configurable color-wise, including the drop down menu items)

Anyone else have a solution this this problem?

okay, answer here in the forums at:

Parameters don't follow the regular Max varnum labeling scheme, but they are still addressable. Was able to reset menu values.

I think I will find it handy to fill menus from a single list, instead of a bunch of append commands.

Thank you!

That is EXACTLY what I was looking for!

This forum is AWESOME for this kind of info!

Thank you again!
