this is so easy, but it doesn't work here.

The size of my patcher-window doesn't change.

Maybe I go crazy,

What did I do wrong?

It looks like you are creating a message but not sending it anywhere.

If I wanted to change the patcher window size I would use the thispatcher object

Hope this helps and apologies if I misunderstood your problem.

Press F1 on thispatcher for more info.

yes, I do send...directly to max (global message)...that's why you write ";max" - but I don't get any visible feedback. If I check the default height with ";max getdefaultpatcherheight whatsoever", the value changed, but I can't see the change. That's my problem.

thanx a lot for the answer.

the message you send is ok, but it is not affecting your current patch's window.

It changes the default patch sizes, meaning probably the newly created ones(?) will be created with 200x200 high and width.

Either way, it is not the correct message to alter your current patch's dimensions. To do that, follow APS502's suggestion.

thanx. I know all that and I'm familiar with 'thispatcher'. But even if I open a new patcher window after having send the global message, I don't get the new dimensions.

I just ask myself in which case u get the new dimensions, if you send a ";max setdefaultpatcherheight" message.

Hey Nik,
