I'm wanting to have a small area of a page where I can change what's displayed. Effectively having pages so can go from controlling ADSR. to FX etc. So I can use a small touch screen to control lots of things. I'm thinking this should be quite simple but I haven't really come up with anything yet!

It is best to use the coords message, as the donecanvasdialog message does not work well since Pd 0.49.... as seen in the example it retains the first view the first time that the second view is selected.
It changes the area of a sub-patch displayed through a GOP window.

You could also use abstractions for each window and make them visible by sending them [vis 1( messages.
example.zip
Open all three files and then click the messages in each as desired.......
You might want to add a message to turn off DSP processing in each hidden patch as you switch.

Of course it could also be done with dynamic patching

FYI I've played with dynamic display here https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/15118/tooltip-display-a-message-about-an-abstraction-in-its-parent/1

@whale-av That's exactly what I want. Glad I didn't carry on thinking other ways to do this now!

The tooltips is pretty cool too. But pd vis was definitely the source of my ignorance.
