How do I set properties of an [hdl] gui object? When I use the "Put -> hradio" menu, I get a horizontal radio object that I can change the properties of, but it only outputs a single number. When I use an [hdl] object, it outputs 2 lists of numbers, great for routing and turning things on and off, but when I right-click on it, the "Properties" option is greyed out. Are these supposed to be 2 separate objects?
thanks, spencer

OK, so I remembered that I can change the properties by sending messages to the object, but why isn't there a properties dialog box?

i guess, because nobody has bothered to write a property dialog for it. (some people are just content if they can set the properties via messages)
btw, you can easily mimick the behaviour of outputting 2 floats (i guess you get the old value (to turn some routing off) and the new value (to turn some other routing on)
like:
[ | |X| ] | [t f f b] | | | | +------+ | | | | [f ] | | new old

I always thought, that hdial simply was deprecated. It's also not showing up in the Put-menu. And as you showed with you little patch, the old behaviour can be emulated.

I ended up using something similar to this in a subpatch. I'm using it with several spigots to do some control routing. How I came accross the [hdl] object was while I was looking through the iemabs directory looking for the [hradio] help patch because PD decided to not be able to find them after I upgraded to devel 0.38. It's strange, because /usr/lib/pd/iemabs is in my path, and I can load the abstractions by creating an object, but right-clicking on an object and selecting "help" spits an error that it can't find the patch. Is there a way to tell it where the help directory is, and have it access subdirectories of that, as well?

Hello,
0.38.

Start Pd with -helppath <path> , I've never tried it by myself but i think it should work
