sorry answering to myself for reference purpose:

/Applications/Max6/java-doc/api/com/cycling74/max/MaxBox.html#remove()

remove() exists basically & obviously :)

Hey Julien, can you give me a short workaround about the delete method? I read the api ad tried out several versions in java but it doesn't work. In js it was really easy but in java i didn't get it working. that is my simple code, i am working on. thanks

import com.cycling74.max.*;

class Verschaltung extends MaxObject{ MaxPatcher p = getParentPatcher();

public Verschaltung() {

}

public void create(int x,int y){ MaxBox b11 = p.newDefault(20,20,"toggle",null); MaxBox b21 = p.newDefault(50,20,"toggle",null); MaxBox b31 = p.newDefault(80,20,"toggle",null); MaxBox b41 = p.newDefault(x, 80, "flonum", null); MaxBox b51 = p.newDefault(20, y, "number", null); MaxBox b61 = p.newDefault(20, 400, "pak", null); } public void deleteAll(){ MaxPatcher.remove(b11); }

}

OK, i figured it out, how to remove an object. But now i have my number box and want to initiate it with an value. I created an Atom[] of the length 1 and filled it with "1". But the value doesn't change in the maxpat.
