GUI Designer: Koda 1.7.3.0

[Lazycat]

Or you can check date of FD.EXE

I don't think it's reliable.

Also I tried to get date value from VS_FIXEDFILEINFO structure, but found that Delphi compiler not fill it.

So I'll go with custom field.

New idea:

- add form's property Description into Object Inspector

I discovered this Description property is used in Templates galery and it's in Object Tree as root treeview entry which foloow Form's Name property until I change Description by hand in Object Tree (F2). This way it's clear that it is separate property.

Bug in Options:

- when you add some button/command to Toolbar from context menu with Customize command

then this button disappear after another invoking of Options (must be invoked from main menu) and pressing Cancel.

I also noticed in Options/Toolbars dialog that Apply button doesn't get enabled after I add new command to toolbar maybe it can be related to dissapearing problem

It's not separate as you can be noticed. Actual Description property (in all controls, include form) is used for object tree descriptive text. Form's description also used in template gallery. I think this is logical enough. Isn't this will be more confuse if the same property can be changed in two places?

Bug in Options:

Yeah, toolbars was just not saved when calling from context menu. Fixed.

[Lazycat]

Thanks in advance again.

Some times when switching from one language to another Koda will Crash.

Yes, I couple times faced with this crash too, but not found the cause yet.

Hi again Lazycat.

I think this is a fd.xml related bug again.

And interesting moment in this bug that it occurs after Generate code (F9).After this try to switch to another language you can see it.

I think this is a fd.xml related bug.

But it included in FD.exe.

For test i replace FD.exe RC1 with FD 1.7.2.0 build 180 and manipulate again crash didn`t appears.

May be this is related with changes in RC1.

[Lazycat]

this bug that it occurs after Generate code (F9)

This is the cause. It was mistake when I converted this dalog from static to dynamic in one of latest versions. Fixed.

[Zedna]

Here is Koda Czech language file updated from 1.7.2.7 to 1.7.2.8

Tested and from my point of view there are no translation related problems anymore.

I m not sure if its possible to add this but would it be possible to allow making tabs in tabs ?

It was disscused here already.

I'm not sure but I think it's a limitation of Autoit and Koda only follow these Autoit's limitations as far as I know.

But there are some workarounds for that (more overlaying GUIs?), try searching.

[Tlem]

On the last archive (1.7.3.0.zip), there is no FD.map file. Is it normal ?

Edit : I just see that we can download it separatly.

Is it important to have this file ?

Edited August 3, 2010 by Tlem

[Lazycat]

Tlem

This is debug symbols file, in many cases it's help to trace error. When it exists, error handler can show in which function error occured.

It's not needed for regular work, but useful if you want to send detailed error descriiption.

[Tlem]

Tanks for the explications.
