I agree... there's no way (as yet, anyway) to get a pointer to the last created object in a patch (for instance) so taht you could store it and use it later to delete the object. Doing this well would be somewhat complicated and would make the "pointer", etc., objects run slower (stale pointer checking would be harder.)
An easier hack would be to give canvases a way to delete objects by numerical index... would that help?

|Does anyone know of a way to dynamically destroy an object using the |"send pd-xxx" approach? Also, is there anyway to disconnect objects |dynamically?
did you find/make anything? i ve only managed to selectall,menu_cut and start over from scratch. ;)
the problem with both destroying and disconnecting is getting the reference to the object. you could either emulate a mouseclick, or work out how to access the stuff via canvas/glist directly,
