is there a reasonably easy solution to save presets for jsui elements? Below I have a patch for storing and wiping presets which for a toggle on/off. There is also a jsui toggle but preset does not work with jsui - is there a way to retrigger its saved state and the tings it effected? Thanks in advance

If you want to use the (deprecated) preset machinery with js or jsui, 

your only option is to surround the object with "real" Max objects and 

If you use the pattr machinery, you are responsible for saving and 

restoring state to/from JavaScript: this state is an array of atoms, 

so it's possible to encode fairly complex data structures.

I keep getting stack overflows when I use the hidden toggle solution. Going to have a look at pattrstorage as I've not used it before. Thanks.

I think a set message fixes the stack overflow:

this seems fine to me, I've seen far less elegant solutions - thanks for that, finished test below.
