Koda Controls Input ... can "text" be displayed as $oldValue?

[legiom455]

$Input27 = GUICtrlCreateInput($oldGtitle[107], 264, 328, 169, 21)

I'm making a form, and want to show a "previously entered' value in an input box, ... as above ($oldGtitle)

but when I enter the $oldGtitle[107] into the text field, ... and then generate the script, I get

$Input27 = GUICtrlCreateInput("$oldGtitle[107]", 264, 328, 169, 21)

Which has the "quotes" around the text entry, as it should, ... Is there any way to tell Koda that I want to display a variable in that field and to stop putting the "quotes" around the variable?

thanks

There is almost a way to do what you want but it doesn't work with arrays.

If you have

$Input27 = GUICtrlCreateInput($oldGtitle$, 264, 328, 169, 21);note $ before and $ after variable name

and in your script have the line (before the $input27 = )

opt("ExpandVarStrings",1)

then the string will be interpreted as the variable.

I think it might be easier to add a line in your script after the koda section

GuiCtrlSetData($Input27,$oldGtitle[107])

EDIT: I'm wrong, see next post

Koda already have this feature for years

You have to place %-enclosed string anywhere in the text and enable "Expand %var% variables" option in the generating options.

So, text %oldGtitle[107]% will be expanded into $oldGtitle[107] - without quotes. This work for any text properties (text, caption, hint etc).
