I can see all the object's attributes by going to its inspector and then clicking on '@' in the left corner.

Why do I get much more attributes if I'm calling the attributes this way as if I'm calling the attributes by connecting an 'attrui' object to the object?

opening the inspector of a play~ object, clicking on '@', I get like 30 attributes.

connecting an attrui object with play~ I get 3 possible attributes in the attrui menu.

Where is my thinking fault? I read the attrui tutorial and help file and I still don't know it.

Sorry,
I think this is a very stupid question.

With attrui you can access those attributes that are available also from inside the object box by typing @... . It matches the list of attributes you see in the popup when clicking on an inlet.

There are others i.e the common box attributes which you have to set via the inspector.

common box attributes: no access via attrui

attributes special for the object: access via attrui

that's easy.
common box attributes: no access via attrui
attributes special for the object: access via attrui

Did I get i right?
I couldn't find that anywhere.
Thanx a lot.

I don't think so.. attrui lists some of the common box attributes for many objects and doesn't list some of the special attributes for some objects. I think it's case by case based on what was assumed to be commonly used. It would be nice if there was an attrui attribute @detailed that allowed the user to display a comprehensive list.

It's a bit randomly - though I think that the developers have thought about it very well before they made their attui-attribute choices.

Hey Metamax,
that's what I think, too.

I want to use attributes in my own objects. First, is it possible?

I assume there is something I can put inside my patch to say "this is an attribute" so that attrui connected to the left inlet can do it's thing.
