Hallo,

is possible to receive availability of an object (namely canvas) in patch? I mean to know if the canvas was (manually) deleted or not by calling its label or send/receive.

Unfortunately get_pos message is giving last known position before deleting.

Thanks for help

if it's only manual deletion you are after, you might be able to hack a way around.

If you create a subpatch (with GOP enabled) and a system that receives a call, and performs an action upon call

[r canvas-check]
|
[t b]
|
[print canvas-bang]

GOP, so that you can create it to become exactly the same size of the canvas and hide that behind the canvas, you can make a call to [r canvas-check] and according to the number of bangs printed, you know how many canvases are still hanging around. You know this, because to manually delete a canvas, you'd have to highlight the canvas with the mouse (which would also select (and eventually delete) your subpatch that you hid behind it), when you get rid of the canvas, you also delete your system that checks upon its own presence!

Hi arif,
thats the trick I was hoping for Thanks a lot.

Later I came up with another solution which might work for my project: instead of pressing delete just move manually canvas to certain area and automatically delete it on the base of its received position by [mouse 25 25 0 0, mouseup 200 200 0, cut(

I'll see what work better for me.
