Hi Folks!

I'm currently writing an oldschool pattern-list sequencer pd patch, using lots of numberboxes and the PDContainer external, eg.

measure quarter tick values 1 2 380 12 -234 23 2.5 ....

everything works fine, except one thing: When changing the time of one list entry via mouse movement, the list gets resorted on _every_ motion and eventually the entry gets replaced by another one and I end up in a complete "timeline" mess,

---HERE's THE ACTUAL QUESTION---

I'm looking for a way to change numbox or number2`s behaviour to only send its value, when the mouse button is released. I'm not familiar with PDs communication with the tk-GUI and the numbox-code seems quite confusing to me :(. Is there any chance at all, for an external to react on mouse _release_ ???

can't help you with the normal numboxes, but with toxy it could be:

#> mynumbox text bind .- <ButtonRelease-1> {pd [concat .| _cb [.- cget -text] ;]} bind .- <B1-Motion> {.- configure -text [expr [.- cget -text] + %x]}

or something along those lines..

THX for any ideas on this. happy coding, jan.
