Looking in g_canvas.c, canvas can take a "click" message followed by 5 floats. The arguments are "t_floatarg xpos, t_floatarg ypos, t_floatarg shift, t_floatarg ctrl, t_floatarg alt" but it none of those are used, at least by the following function:
static void canvas_click(t_canvas *x, t_floatarg xpos, t_floatarg ypos, t_floatarg shift, t_floatarg ctrl, t_floatarg alt) { canvas_vis(x, 1); }
It seems to only make the canvas visible, so try sending "click 0 0 0 0 0" to a named canvas...

Hey all
Is it still possible in Pd to send a message to canvas in order to emulate a mouse click? Some documents[1] and patches[2] on the Pure Data wiki suggest it was possible with earlier versions of Pd, but I can't get the examples to work with current Pd.
My aim is to make a symbolatom ready for text input without clicking it first.

Yeah, I couldn't figure out what this function is useful for and stopped digging further. But reading it made me confident that 'click' might doesn't do what I want. In the meantime, Ingo mentioned 'mouse'. I guess the corresponding code is found in g_editor.c:
void canvas_mouse(t_canvas *x, t_floatarg xpos, t_floatarg ypos, t_floatarg which, t_floatarg mod) { canvas_doclick(x, xpos, ypos, which, mod, 1); }

I don't think that does it as g_editor.c looks like the underlying logic for editing a patch (add, remove, move, etc) and doesn't forward the mouse events to the objects themselves.

Here is a working example patch.

here's some more details:
[mouse ...( and the corresponding [mouseup ...( are the mouse events that are sent to a canvas. BTW, you can use [iemguts/receivecanvas] -> [print] to check out all the messages the canvas receives.
[mouse ...( needs four arguments: xpos, ypos, button, key modifier. button is 1 for a leftclick and 3 for a rightlick (at least on Windows). key is 0 for no modifier pressed, 1 for SHIFT and 2 for CTRL. so as already explained, a leftclick message would be [mouse <x> <y> 1 0(
[mouseup ...( needs three arguments: xpos, ypos, button.
mouse events are processed by the editor in the function canvas_doclick (g_editor.c). it checks which object you've clicked on *) and calls the appropiate callback function in the classes's widget behaviour - which happens to be text_click (g_text.c) - which finally sends a "click" message to the object **). the click message takes 5 arguments: x, y, shift, alt, double click.
@Roman: you can send [click 0 0 0 0 0( directly to your symbol atom box and it will be ready for input (if the canvas is in focus). this way you don't have to care about the actual position.
some confusion arises from the fact that the canvas class also registers a 'click' method. but this is *not* the mouse event but the actual click event. the only thing it does is 'vis 1'.
Christof
*) there's one thing I've always found a bit odd in Pd: for mouse events the linked list of gobjects is traversed from the beginning (i.e. in the order of their creation), terminating when a click was successful. the consequence is that for overlapping sections of GUI elements, the backmost object gets the 'click' message. try to overlap two bang objects, click on them and you see what I mean.
**) actually, for gatoms text_click() directly calls gatom_click(), circumventing the messaging system. the 'click' message is nevertheless registered in the gatom class.

sorry, it's x, y, shift, ctrl, alt. mixed it up with text_click()
