Frequently Asked Questions

#term_definition[What is a % variable?]#

By default, Captions are converted by Koda into string constants, but there is another way: a Caption can be a variable or even an expression. This is achieved through the use of % variables. Examples in which %cat% is a % variable:

Koda	AutoIt
%cat%	$cat
%cat% is black	$cat & “ is back”

#term_definition[How do I create a form template?]#

Create a form, either via File → New or by clicking on the New Form icon.
In Object Inspector, enter a Description
Optionally, in Object Inspector, assign an Icon to the form.
Add controls to the form, as you would for any form
Do File → Save As. The Save As dialog shows.
Navigate to ..\Koda\Templates
If you wish to start a new tab in the Form Templates dialog, create a new directory, and switch to it.
Save the form.

Your template will appear in the Form Templates dialog.

If you do not assign an icon, Koda assigns the default icon.

The directory you create must be a son of the Templates directory.

#term_definition[I have a horizontal scroll bar unexpectedly on my form. Why?]# It is likely that a control extends to beyond the right edge of the form.

#term_definition[I entered a value in a numeric property field but Koda ignored the change. Why?]# Did you remember to press the Enter key to confirm?

#term_definition[I added an UpDown control to a form but it doesn't show when I run the form. Why?]# AutoIt limits an UpDown control to being a buddy control, so in Koda it only works when it is attached to an InputBox control.

#term_definition[I attached an UpDown control to an InputBox control. Now Koda doesn't accept a new value in the Text property of the InputBox control. Why?]# With an Updown control attached, the initial value is set in the Position property of the UpDown control.
