Color messages

Hey folks,

I have issues generating messages to dynamically change object colors (e.g. panels). I used to drag the respective color row from the inspector to the patcher and ended up with a nice message including the RGB color values. Since Max7 I get a attrui object which appears to be absolutely useless for these kinds of operations. I tried working around with the getattr object couldn't get it to work with the bgfillcolor attribute of a panel. Is there a secret functionality in the attrui system I just don't get? My solution at the moment is having Max6 open in the background or a website which provides me RGB numbers to generate the messages when I do that kind of stuff...

Is there a quick and easy way to do this simple operation in Max7. Can I copy the RGB values of a selected color from somewhere else in the inspector? best dominikk
