Hi everyone, I'm trying to iterate through a gen~ subpatcher. I'm doing more or less the same as in the iterate2 example from the sample code.

I'm trying to get the min, max and default values from a param object inside gen~. How do I do that? With object_attr_get() it is not working. I'm able to get the name with the attr "param", but nothing else. Below is my callback:

long iterateGen(myObject *x, t_object *obj)

post("%s in %s", className->s_name, jpatcher_get_name(p)->s_name);

paramName = object_attr_getsym(ob, gensym("param")); // this works

tmp = object_attr_getfloat(ob, gensym("min")); // this is not working

tmp = object_attr_getfloat(ob, gensym("val"));// this is not working

tmp = object_attr_getfloat(ob, gensym("default"));// this is not working

Unfortunately this is not currently supported, but I have logged a feature request in our system to enable it.

Thanks very much for the info. I assume, that it is also not possible (yet?) to retrieve the inlet number from an inlet inside gen~?
