Hi Rob,
If you look at the code for floatinlet_new and friends, you'll see they all
create an inlet and then associate it with the addy of member variable. If
there were a banginlet_new, it could certainly create the inlet on behalf of
your object, but what would it store? Bang doesn't have a value associated
with it. To be philosophical about it, the only thing a banginlet could store
is that is stores nothing. :)
However, if what you are after is a subsidiary inlet (one with a nonzero index)
that has a bang method, you have to use what is called a proxy inlet. See the
code for [list append] or [list prepend] in x_list.c. I think both have a
secondary (or "proxy") object that receives messages associated with the right
inlet of the respective list object. Once you set it up you just add whatever
method you want to your proxy class and everything should work.
It would be nice if there were a convenience function that made this easier.
(Or maybe there is and I'm missing it.)

Hello everyone,
My intention is to have an external with an active inlet that accepts a
bang and at least one passive inlet that also accepts a bang. The active inlet
works fine. However, I don't see an equivalent function call for passive bang
inlets similar to creating a passive float inlet, e.g floatinlet_new(t_object
*owner, t_float *fp);
I have tried using symbolinlet_new(…)but cannot seem to get it to recognize a
bang without an error, inlet: expected 'symbol' but got 'bang'. I have also
tried the inlet_new(…) but do not get the desired results.
I'm stuck. If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them.
Thanks for the time.
