hello,

When I create a 'list box' inside a patch, I can't obtain the expected values, what is my failure? See below

I supposed to be expecting a number, or at least expected the same letter, what I'm doing wrong?

This has confused me in the past! The number actually comes out of the blue 'list' outlet with the green text outlet still outputting the string result - easy mistake to make :)

Thank you! , now I understand. :lol:
What kind of data does the listbox accepts for entry? integer or float or negative values, etc? and what is the type of data for the blue outlet?. :|

strange, same here, the = is a special new V5 funcion that should ouput the value, so easy.
. if you remove and keep only the letters it works for text, but text don't correctly updates you're right.
maybe have to report that to senso.

basically the blue outlet output an integer corresponding to the selection
(first item is 0, second 1, ect) and text outputs the selected text. so in blue Input an integer can select an item to output it's text as
well.

but to simplify things like you wanted to do this was a new V5 feature, but indeed the text doesn't update.

Yes, I noticed some weird functioning when using the =, so I get stuck in the wiki translation until I really understand how this module works. This weird behaviour extends to the list box (switches) and the combobox too :/
