FORM designer for Skill

Hi

Found that the math::round package was not installed properly, so now it works.

Found the following issues with tpages.il after translation

- line 181 has 14 added at the front, which means the skill program won't load.

Besides from this, there's also some issue displaying the form file due to incorrect syntax. 

However, if I run it on my first own form created in Koda it works very well. I'm sure this is something that has a future.

Best regards

 Hi Ole

Edit the perl file and comment out line 196, it will work fine

I am working on a new version

these are the things I have done

1. Optimized the code (500 lines less than the original)

2. Added Support for Grids, Progress Bar, Track Bar, TreeView, ListView

3. Optimized the locations and Size of the fields, it looks like the original XML file

4. It will include the Value field for the Inputs

These are the things I will be working on

1. A Documentation explaining the entire process, FAQ, rational etc..

2. Support to include GRID-Column/Row logic(auto generate Skill code)

3.  A possible GUI and auto-rename .kxf to .xml

4. A installation package which will auto install all the needed files neatly

I will release the new version when time permits

Hi Venkata

I think it works very well already.

I was actually thinking about making a description of this for a technical newsletter that we send out 1-3 times a month refering Danish users to get the perl script from this thread. Would that be ok with you.

You can see our technical newsletters (unfortunately in Danish) on http://www.nordcad.dk/dk/teknik__service/e-service/ 

Please let me know if this would be ok with you. You could email me directly at oe(at)nordcad.dk. I would offcourse give you the credit for the tool.

Best regards

Hi Guys

For what it is worth, I have done the following

1. updated the script with lots of bug fixes

2. Added a GUI interface

3. Added Help and info 

4. created an installation package with standalone executable plus the source

Now you don't need to rename the KODA form .kxf to .xml, the gui will do the trick, no need to have the .inc in the same directory

no need to have perl installed, this is a standalone tool with all the help you need

Now you can get all the things by downloading the setup_xml2bnf.exe at

http://github.com/xml2bnf/xml2bnf

 Now this thing can rest a little bit without bugging me

Enjoy and share atleast one utility you create with this to the community

Appreciate your feedback and comments

Not too sure if anyone else has tried this but I cannot get it to fire up.

I am using Vista 32 and 64 which might explain something BUT I have the Perl from AllState, added the XML::XPath, Math::Round, Tk 804 packages. The GUI does not start from the ".exe" and when I try to run the perl source through "perl xml2bnf.pl" at a command prompt I get a message about not being able to locate "Tk/NumEntry.pm", this presumably needs another Perl package but I can't seem to find a likely candidate listed in the available packages in PPM. I guess that the "Tk::ROText" might be missing as well.

*Update*

OK, found that the NumEntry required is part of Tk::GBARR, got closer BUT "incvalue" is no longer an option for NumEntry, have to "hash" the "incvalue"s out to get the UI to run, but now the edits cannot be incremented by anything other than 1, the default "incvalue"

This might be flying but I wouldn't fancy actually taking off!
