I'm working on an external that detects JazzMutant Lemurs on the 

local network. So far everything is good, except I would like to have 

it work like the midiout external in Max : one could double-click on 

it, and select an output to which the incoming messages would be sent 

(in my case, a list of IPs or lemur names would be displayed). Is 

that at all possible or do I need access to some private API ?

The API for editing windows is documented in the SDK.

Anything beyond that (like the funky lists pattr displays or popup 

menus) is likely to make use of the API from the host OS. This is 

Polling IP addresses available on a LAN is almost certainly something 

where you'll have to deal with the host API. Or use Java. For Lemur 

names I would venture that you'll have to program this yourself.
