Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: puredata Group: feature Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: IOhannes m zmlnig (zmoelnig) Assigned to: Miller Puckette (millerpuckette) Summary: [feature] select objects without gui interaction

Initial Comment: currently the only available method to select an object, is to use GUI-interaction (mouse) or simulate this via "mouse"-messages to the canvas. both things only work with gui enabled and have problems with overlapping objects.

the attached patch (against current svn) adds following messages to the canvas: - select <id> - deselect <id> - deselectall

they allow programmatic selection of objects; <id> is the same object-id as used e.g. for the "connect" message.

this also allows programmatic deletion of objects-per-id, e.g. by sending a message "deselectall, select 14, cut" to the canvas.
