Could someone at Cycling74 confirm that all the messages that you can send to max 6 via message box with semicolon (;) followed by the word max - is all the same as with version 5.

The documentation online is contained in the Max 5 folder - I'm curious if there are new messages for new functions in Max 6.

Repasting from another thread re scheduler prefs

OK I've done another test - with a patch that included all the scheduler prefs as messages - to see if there is a difference between how you send messages to the Preferences folder in Max 5 and Max 6.

The rate at which refresh is done can be set by using the setrefreshrate message.

If you send this message in Max 6 you get this error report in the max window:

You need to use the message setsysqelemthrottle - to set Redraw Queue Throttle

not setredrawqueuethrottle - as you might expect!

"The word setsleep, followed by a number, sets the time between calls to get the next system event, in 60ths of a second. The default value is 2."

Question: does the relate/equate to any of the variables described in Max 6 Sceduler Prefs?

The word setsleep, followed by a number, sets the time between calls to get the next system event, in 60ths of a second. The default value is 2.

REFRESH RATE
In Max 5 documentation it states:
The rate at which refresh is done can be set by using the setrefreshrate message.

If you send this message in Max 6 you get this error report in the max window:
max: doesn't understand "setrefreshrate"

REDRAW QUEUE THROTTLE
You need to use the message setsysqelemthrottle - to set Redraw Queue Throttle
not setredrawqueuethrottle - as you might expect!

SETSLEEP
"The word setsleep, followed by a number, sets the time between calls to get the next system event, in 60ths of a second. The default value is 2."
