Hi,

I'm writing an external and I would like instances of my external to directly call methods in objects attached to it's outlets. Strange, yes, but I would like to see if it's possible.

I have a piece of code I found in a post that traverses the outlets using obj_nexttraverseoutlet and returns t_object pointers. This is very cool, but how do I call methods given the t_objects? In fact, what is a t_object?

Heres's the code. For now it just prints the class type of the connected objects.

void myfunction(t_myobj *x) { post("these are the types of objects we feed:"); t_object *src, *dest; src = &(x->x_obj); t_outconnect *oc; t_outlet *op; t_inlet *ip; int outno = obj_noutlets(src); int inno; while (outno--) { oc = obj_starttraverseoutlet(src, &op, outno); while (oc) { oc = obj_nexttraverseoutlet(oc, &dest, &ip, &inno); post("\t-> [%s]", class_getname(*(t_pd *)dest)); } } }

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Mike Wozniewski
