Request: Object "chooser", @multiselect, set multiselected items

sydy's icon

Dear Cycling developers,
The chooser object has an attribute @multiselect 1
That's great, but nearly totally useless, if you don't give the object at least the possibility to be set the same way by a message like "set multiselected <[items]/[indices]> <[items]/[indices].

Please add it!
It is the only programmable GUI in MAX that allows visible multiple selection of items.
Nobody want's to spend years with radiogroups where you have to create comment boxes and change them whenever your list of indices changes...
Thanks in advance.

I second this request as well. Can't find any UI element with similar behavior. Bummer...

Yes it's a shame. I used something like this based on jit.cellblock:

Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.
