I have an external that is opening a patcher using stringload(). It tries

to send a bang message to the patch using typedmess((t_object*)patch,

gensym("bang"), 0, NULL). The patcher prints the error message: "patcher:

doesn't understand 'bang'". the patcher has has an inlet that prints out

is it valid to use typedmess() to send a message to a patcher? also, i'm

not sure if the (t_object*) cast is valid.

I have an external that is opening a patcher using stringload().  It tries

gensym("bang"), 0, NULL).  The patcher prints the error message: "patcher:
doesn't understand 'bang'".  the patcher has has an inlet that prints out
incoming messages.
is it valid to use typedmess() to send a message to a patcher?  also, i'm
not sure if the (t_object*) cast is valid.
any insight?
thanks,

You're sending a message to the patcher object, not to the first 

inlet. Unfortunately, the API for doing what you are trying to do is 

not public at this time. The "pattrforward" object can do this, 

though, so maybe you can find a solution using your object in

combination with pattrforward.
