GUI Designer: Koda 1.7.3.0

[Lazycat]

I'm wondering if it's possible to change Koda's fonts, specially that used for displaying Object TreeView and Object List contents. I guess they use Windows current font, which is fine for many, but I like monospaced fonts when it comes to coding, mostly because they are less ambiguous. Changing it through Windows won't be an option.

If selecting Koda's font is not possible (as I suppose) would it be difficult to add this option to it? If not, please include this request to its wishlist. Thanks in advance.

I think this is possible, and since most VCL objects support font setting, this should not be hard. Logical step - made separate settings page, like for colors. Edited June 14, 2008 by Lazycat

ExpandVar is not working in Hint property which is generating GUICtrlSetTip() code.

I need to add %CRLF% to my ToolTip.

I'm just checked, and controls generate GUICtrlSetTip as expected... with and without macro. Do you surely checked "expand variables" checkbox?

You are right. Sorry.

It must be some weitd conditions. Now I tested it again and it works fine - tooltip for edit control with %CRLF%

Of course I checked ExpandVar option before.

But another little bug:

When I change Hint property for Edit control value and close Koda it doesn't prompt for save changes

The same applies also for Text property for Edit control.

[Lazycat]

Weird, when you change it, save button become enabled, but looks like form modified flag not reset. Well, I'll look it.

Thank you very much for this program Lazycat. This has saved me countless hours of time.

Do you accept PayPal donations?

Thanks again,

Glad it's helpful for you

About donation, I don't think about it yet and even have not PayPal account... But you can donate to forum hosting in place of me - this will be quite ok

Thanks for the program.

I noticed that if I resize a label to multiple lines, save the form, close and reopen the form, the label size is not restored.

I have tried this with 1.7.0.1 and 1.7.0.5 Beta.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug in Koda?

Thanks,

Frank

Turn Off its AutoSize property :-) It has default value True.

Hi Lazy (just in name, huh?)

If I have some fields already entered in a form, how can I "involve" them into a group that I discovered I need after those fields have ben entered?

It's simple :-)

Just invole popup menu on the button control (ir any other control) and run "Cut" command.

Then invole popup menu on the group control and run "Paste" command.

i dont know if anybody has allready reported this, but when you put up a image, and dont link it to a imagefile, you cant resize the height under 100.

so, the only way to resize a picture control is setting it up with a image, but i dont always do that.

sometimes its determined at runtime so

btw, any progress on the new version or beta?

I have discovered that in AutoIt its possible to add components to the form, as you do in VB lol (before, i add them with pure code, not graphically), so i have been experimenting with all the components, but for example, when I try to add a "Microsoft Webbrowser component" it shows an errror messagebox like this:

So, i suppose that the error occours cause I need that .dll file to work properly...

But this is not the only control i can´t add, there is a lot of other control that it doesnt let me add, and it marks then with a "caution" symbol...

You see?

So...i would like you to explain me if this is ocurring because of the fault of that .dll files or maybe is a problem of my AutoIt instalation...?

Thank you so much!!

This was by design, but not recall for what exact reason Maybe this will be changed.

At least two last months no. I'm plain have no time for coding now.

Don't think it related to Autoit, this depends on certain ActiveX controls. When choosing control, Koda tries to create it's instance and place on form. It will fail if: control can't be inserted (non-visual), it required some additional libraries (as in your case), have not licensed, etc, etc... This is normal and it's documented in help.

I don't know why objects are marked with the exclamation sign, this is probably something Vista related, because I don't see this on XP.

If users add a statusbar to a form, the generated code should insert the followin include statement:

#Include <GuiStatusBar.au3>

Thanks for this very useful tool

The code generator doesn't generate code for the updown control.

Best regards

Little bug:

When I have option "Generate OnEvent code" = True

and I turn it OFF (FALSE) in Options (and press OK button in Options)

then I must leave Koda to take changes because it still generates "OnEvent code".

Koda add this.

Do you "attached" updown control to input control? Updown control alone have no sense and not generating anything.

"Generate OnEvent code" (and similar) options in settings are default ones and they are apply to any newly created form. So, if you create form when this option was True, form will have this option always True, until you change it for this form in the Tools->Generating Options.

[Zedna]

Koda add this.

I can confirm this problem in latest Koda 1.7.0.5 beta

So it's not true that "Koda add this".
