Hi all,
Message boxes were written to share code with object boxes and comments, but hacked a bit to respond to mouse clicks.
Making them graph on parent would make sense (the only reason they weren't before is that in the very first graph-on-parent implementation one couldn't hide things by moving them out of the little red rectangle>)

I've often wondered of message boxes, why they don't have some form of GUI to indicate when they're triggered (like the bang object). Sorry, this is an asside but I would like to know why.

Hi,
I don't know if this is already being addressed in the rewrite-gui version...
I've always wondered why message boxes are not treated as gui elements, like number and symbol boxes, that is:
- they do not graph on parent
- they do not have a properties dialog with at least a send and receive
symbol
Is there some particular reason why it has been decided not to treat (or allow treating) message boxes as gui elements, or is it simply that it has never been felt as a priority to implement this feature? I mean, would it imply any drawback?
