Diagram display age at marriage and death please

Post by RickBaum » 24 Jan 2023 00:08

Hi,

I would like to display the age at marriage and age at death for all persons on the "All Relatives" chart.

I am familiar with coding VBA, but have never coded in this application and I don't know where to begin. Could someone please help me with step by step instructions?

Thank you!

Rick could you please help us by providing your Family Historian Version number in your profile on the right.
Click your username RickBaum and navigate to Edit Profile, select the Family Historian version, then scroll down to SUBMIT.

To change the text displayed in Diagram boxes requires the Text Scheme to be customised.
So with the Diagram open, use Diagram > Options... and open the Text tab.

It is likely that the currently chosen Text Scheme is Birth, Marr, Death.
A little further down the list is Birth, Marr, Death + notes, ages which you should select and click OK.
That should show the same Marriage and Death facts as before but with the ages you requested.
However, it also adds any Notes for those facts, which can easily be removed, and I will explain how to do that when you reply.

Hi Tatewise,

Got it. Thank you very much for your assistance!

At the moment, I am okay with notes in there too, however, please post back how to remove them as you suggested so I will know for future reference.

Thanks!

OK, Rick.
Use Diagram > Options... and open the Text tab as before.

Select the Text Scheme Birth, Marr, Death + notes, ages and click the Clone... button on the right.
Change the New Scheme Name to Birth, Marr, Death + ages for the customised clone.

Now click the Edit Text Scheme... button to display the Edit Text Scheme dialogue that shows all the items.
Select Birth Notes and click the X Delete icon lower right.
Select Marriage Notes and click the X Delete icon lower right.
Select Death Notes and click the X Delete icon lower right.

Finally, click the OK button on left and then click OK again in the Diagram Options dialogue.
