Ableton Forum

Hi Everyone..need some help here please.
Is there any way to get a tracks' current state/selection of it's Midi to and/or Midi From drop down boxes? I've tried using lh_midiin but all that provides is a umenu object which gets filled
with all the available ports on your system and you have to manually pick the one you want. To be clear....again....I want to query the current highlighted track that the device is on and get the currently selected and showing choice of midi to and midi from.
Any ideas? and if i am by some measure of my own stupidity missing something here than please accept my noobish apologies. A point in the right direction would be extremely appreciated.

thanks
Dennis

Can easily be done as shown in the patch below (copy/paste into an empty m4l device).
