Property Box customisation - Military amp; Census

TomBeckham · Post by **TomBeckham** » 12 Sep 2009 19:05

I am coming back to Family Historian after leaving at version 2.
I am looking at the file download as named above to see how it is done. Is there anywhere that can help me understand the method? I can undertsand most from looking at the file but would like to work out the meaning of some of the wording and how the location of the input boxes are arrived at etc......

Tom,

If you search this site with 'customise tabs' you will get the various threads that discuss aspects of this topic.

Thanks for the reply Gerry, however the messages only state how to install the file on your own system , I want to `write' my own tabbed pages file, and to do this I will need to deduce or otherwise the meaning of the various numbers which I am guessing positions the entry fields etc etc? I cannot find this anywhere?

I think this is covered in the Help file page Edit Custom Item.

I have just added the new data to the pd-indi,fhdata file as per the military and Census 'add on' as posted. However the tabs do not appear as supposed to? FH works ok so the file is good?

Have you installed the Fact Set as well?

Hi again,
No, I did not, is that a seperate download or is it all the other files in the zipped folder download?
