i've found a couple of references to this in other posts, but no answers...

the contents of a message box can't be stored in a pattrstorage, neither can a text field (just seems to store empty or garbage), and something like an ubumenu just stores the index and not the text. so, is there any way to do this?

1. An ubumenu will store symbols if sent the "pattrmode 1" message.

2. How about storing your symbol/list in a pattr?

Try textedit. I use it all the time. Perfect for storing text/strings.

ah.. sending pattrmode 1 to the text feild seems to work too.

I found nothing on pattrmode so I think it's obsolete now...

I try to save different texts with [textedit], [presets] and [pattrstorage] (I want to store a different text for each preset), it works perfectly in my current patch in Max but when I close it and load it in Maxforlive only the last stored text is saved...

Hi !

Any ideas on how I can solve this ?

Thanks !

turn parameter mode on, in the [pattrstorage] object

Oh thanks @double_ug, I stupidly made changes and forgot to turn it on again...
