It seems that if you [print] from the element's struct you get 'click messages' with pointers for every element in the array when clicking, is that it?

I guess this same [struct] should then just also send a 'change' message for the pointer of the element that is being changed. It does make sense and seems like a natural thing given how stuff works in general. I'd like to see that!

I haven't looked at the code, but I guess you could just open this request on github.

cheers

Thank you for the advice, I didn't know that Purr-Data had this capability for arrays! However, it seems that even there, structures behave similarly regarding this issue. It's true that "clicked" messages are sent, but they trigger when clicking on an undefined area of the canvas that represents the entire structure, even in the case of multiple arrays. Additionally, these messages return the coordinates of each element but not when clicking on the elements themselves...

The goal would be to make the substructure that identifies each element able to detect multiple coordinates. I wonder how challenging this would be.

arrays do send click messages when clicked - unless you're dragging the
mouse for a long time, a partial solution could be to use the message to
trigger a time-limited polling (and when this polling finds differences,
activates itself again).
