To make something send a bang, you could put some [bng] objects behind<br>
your whatever text displaying objects. Interestingly, hidden GUI objects<br>
have priority over visible objects when clicked. Another way is to use a<br>
construct like the following to make a slider send bangs only when<br>
clicked, but not when dragged:<br>
<br>
[hsl]<br>
|<br>
[t a a]<br>
\/<br>
/\<br>
[sel 0]<br>

BTW, is it theoretically possible for a GOP object to display a menu on the toplevel (stretching over the GOP area of the subpatch where it is)? If yes, I'd eventually try to hack the pmenu code.<br></div><div> </div>
