10� CODA Form Management
a� Arranging the Form in Layers
If the CODA Form you have built becomes large, it is possible that it will not t within the
boundaries of your screen� This could cause a problem later when you are coding the activity� If
this is the case, it is possible to begin stacking buttons in the CODA Form in layers one behind or
one in front of the other� You may stack as many buttons as you wish�
The “ARRANGE” Menu allows you arrange a stack in what ever order you prefer� The arranging of
the order in an existing stack may also be done by Control Clicking on a button in the stack and
then selecting the option you want from the drop down Menu�
As you build and arrange your buttons in the CODA Form, you may lock a button in position in
the CODA Form by Control Clicking on the button and selecting “Lock Position” from the drop
down menu� It may be Unlocked in the same manner�
This feature is especially useful when you have arranged linked buttons in a stack and it is
desirable to maintain their position in the stack relative to one another�
The Popup Tags on a Popup Tag Mat in the CODA Form can be hidden and redisplayed by
Control Clicking on the Event and selecting “Hide/Show Popup Tags”
b�Transparent Buttons
In some instances, where a button will only be activated and deactivated by linking, or when a
button is being placed over a graphic in a stack, you may wish to make the button or series of
buttons transparent so that they do not clutter the coding Form� Refer to para� 1�j (viii) above for
instructions on how to make a button transparent�
