get id/name of device where a parameter is mapped

Hello,

my Max device has a mapping button. During mapping I get the parameter id and name without any problem but I have trouble reaching the device id of the device that I mapped the parameter at.

Is there any easy solution to this?

Have you tried to feed a live.object with the parameter id and then send 'getpath' to it?

Thanks a lot. That worked out well. Sometimes it's that easy but you can't see it. Also I did not know that some devices have no name and I wounldn't have taken this into account.
