Hi Mike, Solved I think - using kcheck as index and then testing for icheck>0 as attached. Thanks for your help - now need to tidy up the plug-in. I have just over 3000 individuals and now the plug-in shows me that 1577 still have some census returns to complete. The plug-in also shows for each indi...

Thanks Mike, That doesn't quite do the job but has given me some ideas. What is happening now is that I get the right number of lines in the output (and they are not blank) but it is overwriting some lines with other output that shouldn't be there. As I said on the post about 'what plug-ins are for'...

I have written 4 plug-ins for my own use. They are all essentially concerned with census records and I use them to monitor where I have got to on my quest to try and find as many as possible. One for example provides a table showing for each of the 8 census years how many I have found, how many that...

To explain further - if you take out the 'if icheck==0' test and the next 2 lines and the relevant 'end'. The output gives a table showing the results for all individuals in the gedcom without any blank lines. That is obviously very useful but it would be better if it didn't report those records tha...

This one is a bit complicated to explain. I have built a plug-in that is somewhat similar to the Kinsfolk census queries but it has additional tests and it gives answer of '*****' if census return is not expected, '( )' if it is expected but not there and the date if the census record is recorded. D...

Brilliant - whole thing is beginning to look good and do the job.

Cheers,

Thanks Mike and Jane, I had just about got a solution with iup.getparam but it wasn't as neat as yours. The only advantage with mine was that the options were listed vertically rather than across the page making it rather easier to get the text in. I need a bit more practice in Lua ! Kind regards, D...

Thanks Mike,

I'll give it a go. I don't know why I didn't see this when I was scanning through the help.

Kind regards,
Dick

I am writing a plug-in that requires user to make a choice of one of 5 options. fhMessageBox works well for 3 options but no more than that. Ideally I would like a window to appear with the 5 options and for the user to choose by use of radio buttons. I have searched on Google for this in Lua but al...
