How to edit our GUI script

Hi all,

When making some gui based scripts, i am using koda form designer for making gui. After creating gui, i need to add some extra code to that script.  (Adding some functionality of buttons and other controls). And then if i need to edit the gui, i will use the "Import" facility of koda. And i can simply edit my script. It will generate the updated script. And my problem starts from there. My old script contains some extra functions and other codes. But the code generated by koda doesn't contains those code. So it will be a burden for me to find the differences and copy paste the updated code to old script. Is there any solution for this problem ?

Please ask any clarification, if you don't get my point.

I have found a partial remedy for this problem. That is -

1. Create the gui in Koda

2. Add additional code to it.

3. If you need to add\edit\update the gui then close that file in SciTE and open it in "Form Builder" (A much better GUI editor for autoit). 

4. Click the "GUI (F10)" button or press "F10"

5. It will open the gui as per the old script. 

6. Start editing the gui and the code will be automatically updated to the old script. You don't need to mess with 2 identitical scripts and nor need to copy paste the code. 

7. After editing, save and close the Form Builder

8. Open your old script in SciTE, Voilà ! it is completely updated as per your last editing. All your extra codes are there. Nothing is gone.

@Zedna , Koda will delete all codes added by user. Ofcourse it will add new code from our updated GUI. But it will delete all extra code we wrote on it.

As far as I know Koda just replace GUI related code between #Region tags:

#Region ### START Koda GUI section

#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

 

These #Region tags are automatically added when you generate AU3 code from your created GUI Design(er).

There is no Path in my version of Koda . See this line. This is from a script saved in desktop 

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=Form2.kxf

Edit - My koda version 1.7.3.0. build252

@Zedna No way. I just included the path and try to update the script. But the same thing happen now. It deletes my own code and it also delete the path from the #Region area also.

Then iit is only for me. I need to check the settings of Koda. My koda is not generating any path and it also deleting the path after updating GUI.

      _IEAction "refresh" closes my GUI
      By XinYoung
      For fun, I'm building an app that opens a webpage and refreshes it every 30 seconds.
      But once the script performs _IEAction($oIE, "refresh"), the GUI closes.
      Any help is appreciated.

      How to change the back color of button created with _GUICtrlButton_Create function ?
      By kcvinu
      Hi all,
      I have a button created with _GUICtrlButton_Create function. I know that this function returns a handle of button instead of an ID. So i have obtain control ID by calling _WinAPI_GetDlgCtrlID function. After that i have tried the GUICtrlSetBkColor function. But it didnt worked. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. 
      Note : - The window which carries this button is not created with native gui create function. Instead, it is created with CreateWindowEx api function.

      How to change control font which created with control related UDFs like GuiButton.au3 ? - [SOLVED]
      By kcvinu
      Hi all,
      I am playing with _GUICtrlButton_Create function. How can i change this button's (or the entire form's) font ?. The in-built GUICtrlSetFont function is not working even when i convert the control handle to control ID with _WinAPI_GetDlgCtrlID ( ) function.  Do i need to use CreateFont api finction and send WM_SETFONT message ? Or is there any other easy and safe ways to do this ?. Thanks in advance.
      Note : This window is created by CreateWindowEx function, not by GUICreate function.
