You would only need to rewrite the function that max used (since it won't exist otherwise anyway), and have it retrieve the value from the class struct instead.

hi, 

thanks for your answer, but I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve it without saving it.

I'm porting a Max lib to Pd which uses such a thing in Max (which is possible since SDK 6).

If it's not possible I would have to rewrite *a lot* of the lib code. :-(

You could save the pointer in your class struct during the new method.

Hi, 

I would like to retrieve at any time the pointer to the t_canvas containing my object.

Is that possible ?

I know I can retrieve it with something like : 

    t_glist *glist=(t_glist *)canvas_getcurrent();

    t_canvas *canvas=(t_canvas*)glist_getcanvas(glist);

in the myobject_new() method.

But the same give me a (nil) t_canvas pointer outside the new() method.

Thanks in advance.
