314KodaApplicationBug ReportLowFile | Open: Split into two?UnconfirmedChris Haslam06.07.20111 Task Description

I think it would be clearer if File | Open were split into two:

  • File | Open Form
  • File | Open Forms in Script

The filter on the first one would be *.kxf, and on the second *.au3

I realize that Open Forms in Script is not optimum, but I think it would be an improvement on the present situation. It could have a hint: Open all forms referenced in a script.

315KodaApplicationBug ReportLowSend to Back, Bring to Front: bug?UnconfirmedChris Haslam04.07.2011 Task Description

The attached .kxf does not display as I would expect.

316KodaApplicationBug ReportLowFont size inconsistent for Courier NewUnconfirmedChris Haslam04.07.2011 Task Description

The attached .kxf shows one font size in Design Area and a smaller size when run.

This problem may be related to another. This dialog shows as designed if I change the font size to 8.5 points in AutoIt. Koda won’t let me set the font size to 8.5.

317KodaApplicationBug ReportLowAU3 Import GuiCtrlSetData bugUnconfirmedChris Haslam06.07.2011 Task Description

The first attached file shows AU3 Import code I pasted. (It is from Date Picker styles with presets suggestion.au3.)

The second shows the result of clicking on Process.

It appears that Koda did not process the GuiCtrlSetData.

318KodaApplicationBug ReportLowTAMonthCal: Centering problemAssignedChris Haslam08.07.20114 Task Description

The auto-height seems to be correct at 168, but the vertical centering is off a bit, so when Autosize is True, the bottom of the Today line is hidden.

It is likely that there are other cases where centering is a bit off, e.g. Align | Center Vertically in Window.

319KodaApplicationBug ReportLowHint or Tooltip?UnconfirmedChris Haslam08.07.20112 Task Description

Koda calls them hints but AutoIt and Windows call them tooltips.

I think that Koda should use the same term as AutoIt.

Right now, the Treeview Styles dialog has a checkbox called Hints (tooltips) show.

320KodaApplicationBug ReportLowDesigner: How to keep Object Inspector on topUnconfirmedChris Haslam13.07.2011 Task Description

I am working on the ListView styles dialog. It is almost full-screen: about 40 controls.

I would like to keep Object Inspector on top of the Form. When I am working on controls on the right-hand side, it can sit over the left side of the form. How do I do it? OI keeps getting under the Form.

321KodaApplicationBug ReportLowTAListView: code generation funnyUnconfirmedChris Haslam15.07.20111 Task Description
$ListView1 = GUICtrlCreateListView("|", 128, 56, 257, 289, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_LISTVIEW,$LVS_NOCOLUMNHEADER))

was generated by Koda, and does not work with 2 columns: the second column shows as blank.

$ListView1 = GUICtrlCreateListView(" | ", 128, 56, 257, 289, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_LISTVIEW,$LVS_NOCOLUMNHEADER))

does work.

Koda then generated:

GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 0, 50)
GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 1, 200)

Apparently AutoIt needs a space before and after the |.

I consider this to be an AutoIt bug, but Koda is the servant of AutoIt, so ...

If AutoIt ever fixes this bug, Koda code generation will still be OK with “<space>|<space> “.

322KodaApplicationBug ReportLowaccess vilolation errorUnconfirmedwenyibing24.10.20112 Task Description

I added a listbox, deleted it, and then was adding a combobox. A error window popped up. See
using the latest version. My OS is Windows 7 64bit.

333KodaApplicationBug ReportLowlabel width value is being forgottenUnconfirmedVitas22.10.20123 Task Description

I have some labels in my program but when I set longer text in them it overflows and line breaks. So I prolonged them in Koda, saved, updated script with CTRL+U and it worked. Unfortunatelly next time after opening the KXF file I found all labels to have width and height reset back to the values set after their creation! Pretty dumb...I think this is a bug
I found out it happens not only after reopening the form, but randomly during development when the project is open. The only workaround seems to be to add a lot of spaces to a label’s caption

334KodaApplicationBug ReportLowCode Generator Template being ignored?UnconfirmedDavid22.10.20121 Task Description

I select the new template and generate code, the code is still based on “Events Example” instead of my template.

336KodaApplicationBug ReportLowHeight property value of certain fields (input, combobo...Unconfirmedvvoois18.09.2013 Task Description

I have been working with Koda for quite a few years
of the most annoying parts of the GUI editor is where i alter the height of inputboxes, comboboxes etc and adjust them to a value where these objects become smaller than the original value (input boxes have a value of 21, i rather cram the contents in 16 pixels which works just as nice).

Koda does accept it and adjusts on the form, but the minute i do something with the form in general or drag the object that is carrying it (frame) somewhere else, the height-value is being set back to the original
can also save the form with its values, but when i reload, all values are reset to the original values that seem to be the “minimum” for those objects.

I rather don’t have Koda to touch these properties in any situation, they are manually adjusted for a reason.

136KodaApplicationFeature RequestMediumUse array namesPostponedOmYcroN07.05.20112 Task Description

Please add the ability to use array names in the Object Inspector for the control names: ControlName[Index]

Column widths are not imported from AU3 to KXF.

77KodaApplicationFeature RequestLowMaking Code Templates more flexibleWaiting feedbackDavid30.05.20115 Task Description

I would like to see additional variables available for the Code

  %FORMNAME% - the name of the form as assigned in the form's properties.

The ability to inject code into general event

  Func MyGUIClose()
    $MyVar="Some Value"
  EndFunc

The reason for this request is that most of the time, when I create a GUI, I create it within a function in an include file, with additional control structures. I typically spend 5-10 minutes each time I generate new code using KODA to fit it into my format. I would like to be able to use custom Code Templates to create them already in my format, so I can jump right into the application coding.

RichEdit custom control since it’s UDF was added in the standard distributive.

81KodaApplicationFeature RequestLowAbility to separate form generating code and event codeUnconfirmed04.11.20091 Task Description

Hello,

I would like to separate the code for generating the form, and my own event code.

One way to do this would be to let Koda generate an au3 file for generating the form, but no event handlers. I would just #include this file in my own au3 file. I am responsible myself for generating the right functions for the event handlers, or I could implement an event loop.

More complex options could be conceived, like in the following post :

   http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17612

I would be interested in contributing to Koda, and maybe implement this feature myself. I have 10 years of professional programming experience in Borland C++ Builder and Delphi.

147KodaApplicationFeature RequestLowTAGroup: A suggestionWaiting feedbackChris Haslam17.01.201111 Task Description

Koda works well at grouping if the user creates a group and then adds radio buttons to it: he decides in advance what area of the form will be needed for the radios, and then adds the radios. For example, he creates Group1 and then creates Radio1 and Radio2 within it.

But two scenarios:

  1. But what if he later realizes that he needs a third radio in this group? When he enlarges the Group area and adds Radio 3, Radio3 is not placed in Group1. It should be.
  1. The user creates Checkbox1 and CheckBox2. He then surrounds them with Group2. The checkboxes are not made part of Group2. They should be.

I suggest that code be added to Koda: when a group is created, include in it all controls which are within the area of the group.

161KodaApplicationFeature RequestLowAuto-sizing in Radio and Checkbox controlsPostponedChris Haslam02.02.2011 Task Description

Auto-sizing in Radio and Checkbox controls would be useful. Default should be False. Put it on the wish list?

170KodaApplicationFeature RequestLowTab Order - 2 casesAssignedChris Haslam23.05.201111 Task Description

As well as Edit→Tab Order, I now see Tab Order in Object Inspector (e.g. for Button). (perhaps Tab Stop Number would be more precise). So I think that there are two cases:

  1. Setting the tab order for all controls, and
  2. Setting the tab stop number for the currently selected control.

Tab Order Editor handles the first case.



Now for the second case.

In Object Inspector, Koda permits the user to enter the tab stop number. But what if he enters 2, and there is already a control that has tab stop 2. What happens?

I think it would be preferable to have clicking to the right of tab order bring up a dialog something like my screenshot:

This would allow the user to position the selected control relative to other controls. Note that he would no longer be concerned with the tab stop number, so conflicts in number could not occur.

IMHO

184KodaApplicationFeature RequestLowTemplate GalleryAssignedChris Haslam05.05.20118 Task Description

I note that the documentation calls this “Templates Gallery” but 1.7.3 .0 and the screen shot call it “Form Templates”. I suggest that “Form Templates” is the better name: it fits with “Code Generation Templates”. I will change the documentation to “Form Templates”.

I note that 1.7.3.0 shows two tabs: “Standard” and “My own templates”, but that the 1.7.3.0 help and the documentation shows only “Standard”. Further, one of the templates in the “My own templates” tab has no icon. I suggest that “My own templates” be dropped. THe documentation will tell the user how to add templates and tabs.

How can the user add a description and icon to a template he creates?

How can the user delete a template he creates?

How can the user delete a tab that he creates?

187KodaApplicationFeature RequestLowOnClick => Notify ?AssignedChris Haslam05.05.201111 Task Description

I don’t see why OnClick brings up a dialog.

It only has two values: Notify and don’t notify.

It seems to me that it would be more obvious if it were called Notify and its values were True and False. It would then work like, for example, Enabled.

Just a thought.

188KodaApplicationFeature RequestLowWhich form should open when you run Koda?UnconfirmedChris Haslam01.03.20112 Task Description

In 1.7.3.0, it appears that when I run Koda, the form that automatically opens is the last one changed (I am not sure of this).

I would like to see Koda start by opening the form that was active when Koda was last exited. This makes more sense to me.

202KodaApplicationFeature RequestLowOvercoming MS's confusion in styles for formsAssignedChris Haslam05.05.20117 Task Description

MS‘s mess (discussed previously) is driving me nuts!

So for Styles of TAForm I suggest that you add some pseudo-styles. Some I think of: Title bar, Close box, Minimize box, Normal frame, Dialog frame, perhaps Modal.

There are two ways you could add them:

  1. Put them in the Styles tab, at the top of the list, or
  1. Put a Clearer styles for Form checkbox in Options | Designer. When it is checked, have Koda replace all the WS styles which are equivalent to pseudo-styles.

You have more experience than I do with these bloody styles. Perhaps there is no way to get around MS‘s confusion!

There is another way: document the translation from pseudo-styles to WS_ constants in Controls | Form. For that I would need your help.

212KodaApplicationFeature RequestLowControl Palette: Reorganize?PostponedChris Haslam05.05.20114 Task Description

I understand why there are four tabs, but I wonder if there is a better way of organizing them.

I find that I easily forget where to find a control: which tab is it on? and which icon is it? A few icons are clear as to what the control is, but some are not. I often have to wait for the telltale to show to be sure. This is not the fault of the picture on the icon: icons are only a limited number of pixels.

So Idea #1 is to add a main menu item called Controls, with all the controls as sub-items. In the future, it may be necessary to have 3 levels, with Native and UDFs as the second level.

Idea #2 is to group the controls alphabetically, e.g. A to E for the first tab, F to M for the second, etc.

217KodaApplicationFeature RequestLowStrings Editot | Show Hard Return?UnconfirmedChris Haslam26.04.20111 Task Description

It would be nice if Hard Return showed. My experience elsewhere is that, because the width of the Edit control and the width of the Strings Editor are usually different, showing HRt can relieve some confusion.

219KodaApplicationFeature RequestLowTreeview Editor: ObservationsAssignedChris Haslam27.04.20117 Task Description

I suggest that:

  • Image index be changed to Image index when unselected
  • Selected be changed to Image index when selected

Selecting a node created earlier without a name is challenging: you have to click exactly in the right place. I suggest that when a node is created, Koda assign it a temporary name, e.g. Node1 (like Menu Editor). This name would be highlighted in the Text input box, ready for the user to enter his own name.

A related question: should Koda even allow a node to exist neither an image nor a name?

It would be user-friendly if images could be selected from a list: see how I have written the doc for To add a node.

It would be nice if icons showed in the treeview control as they do at run time.

Is image the correct word? Aren’t they always icons?

225KodaApplicationFeature RequestLowMenu Designer: OK and Cancel buttonsResearchingChris Haslam05.05.20111 Task Description

I am finding that it is very easy to loose the last menu item created. I was testing Creating a menu control.

I suggest that Menu Designer have OK and Cancel buttons. This would be user friendly – allowing a user to back out of a change – and could ensure that the last menu item added does indeed get added to the menu control.

242KodaApplicationFeature RequestLowIP address: EnabledAssignedChris Haslam11.05.20115 Task Description

I am surprised that there is no Enabled property in Object Inspector

261KodaApplicationFeature RequestLowDisable a tabstopUnconfirmedChris Haslam24.05.20117 Task Description

An example from External Link:

GUICtrlCreateButton("Two", 10, 140, 80, 30)
_WinAPI_SetWindowLong(GUICtrlGetHandle(-1), $GWL_STYLE, BitAND(_WinAPI_GetWindowLong(GUICtrlGetHandle(-1), $GWL_STYLE), BitNOT($WS_TABSTOP)))

But first the inconsistency between Tab Order and WS_TABSTOP needs to be resolved.

266KodaApplicationFeature RequestLowCheckbox: initialize with $GUI_INDETERMINATEPostponedChris Haslam17.05.20111 Task Description

When BS_3STATE is checked, Check would offer True, Indeterminate and False. If Indeterminate is too long, Gray would fit.

If the user chose Gray and subsequently unchecked BS_3STATE, Check would automatically become False.

It would make sense to me to have one Ctrl_Z undo all changes to a string, rather than character-by-character.

159KodaDocumentationRegular TaskLowHelp | Property EditorsWaiting feedbackChris Haslam18.01.20111 Task Description

It would be helpful if the Help mentioned how to access the property editors. A few are obvious, but one that is not is the TreeView Editor. There may be more that have this problem.

175KodaApplicationRegular TaskLowForms main menu item: Why?AssignedChris Haslam11.02.20112 Task Description

I do not see the reason for the existence of this menu item.

I can almost as easily key Ctrl-3 and choose which form to activate with the mouse.

Also, consider a form that occupies the whole of the screen. In this case, there is no way IMHO to activate the main menu in order for Alt-m to work. (See the Help as it now is.)

If you wish to keep the Forms menu item, perhaps there should be a function key that focuses Koda so the main menu is active, so Alt-m works.

Or am I missing something?

...chris

191KodaApplicationRegular TaskLowMultiple selection of controlsUnconfirmedChris Haslam13.03.20114 Task Description

Where is this mentioned in the Help? I have not found it.

I find it a little surprising that the user shift-clicks to add a control to the selection.

In Explorer (and elsewhere), control-click adds a file to the selection; shift-click adds a range of files to the selection.

Just a thought.

197KodaDocumentationRegular TaskLowTools | Update Script with multiple Koda regions in the...UnconfirmedChris Haslam15.04.20113 Task Description

If there are two Koda regions in a .au3 file, say foo.kxf and bar.kxf, will Update Script work both when foo.kxf is the active form and when bar.kxf is the active form?

It seems to me that this is possible, but the current documentation does not say so.

246KodaApplicationRegular TaskLowOptions | Options | General | Recent Files 2UnconfirmedChris Haslam06.05.20111 Task Description

I notice that the caption in 1.7.3.1 is Number of recent file list. This does not make sense to me. It makes it look like recent file list has an ID number (or something).

I wrote:

I suggest that the caption be changed to Recent files in File menu. This is consistent with Undo levels. I also think that it is clearer.

Other wordings are possible.

Number of is redundant: the input box shows numbers.

:-)

253KodaDocumentationRegular TaskLowCombobox | Remarks | Height parameterUnconfirmedChris Haslam19.05.20111 Task Description

The doc as I received it says:

Starting from WinXP the “visual” height of combo cannot be set. Height parameter is showing height of opened combo. Koda allow you to change it manually.

I don’t quite understand.

Does this say the same thing:

Windows XP and up set the opened height of a Combobox. The Height property is the height of the closed Combobox.

My playing around shows that the height of the closed control is fixed in Design Area and at run-time (perhaps font-size dependent), and that when opened, the height is sufficient to show at least 15 items.
