[PD-dev] Hacking numberbox to send value only on mouse up

[Jan Baumgart]

Hi Folks!

I'm currently writing an oldschool pattern-list sequencer pd patch, using 
lots of numberboxes and the PDContainer external, eg.

measure quarter tick           values
   1       2     380      12   -234  23  2.5
....

everything works fine, except one thing: When changing the time of one 
list entry via mouse movement, the list gets resorted on _every_ motion 
and eventually the entry gets replaced by another one and I end up in a 
complete "timeline" mess,

---HERE's THE ACTUAL QUESTION--- 
 
I'm looking for a way to change numbox or number2`s behaviour to only send 
its value, when the mouse button is released. I'm not familiar with PDs 
communication with the tk-GUI and the numbox-code seems quite confusing to 
me :(. Is there any chance at all, for an external to react on mouse 
_release_ ???

THX for any ideas on this.
happy coding,
jan.
