    <p>I don't believe Windows exposes (via .NET or otherwise) any method of changing a process's parent.</p> <p>As an alternative, you could run a separate process at system startup (via the "SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run" registry key for example), and have the triggering application (your screen saver) use inter-process communication (SendMessage or the like) to tell the separate process to launch the browser. Then the separate process would be the parent and the browser wouldn't be killed when the screen saver's process tree is killed.</p> <hr> <p>Here's some example code. Note that this doesn't do any error checking, and I haven't tested it in the context of an actual screen saver, but it should give you an idea of what's involved:</p> <p>In the screen saver class:</p> <pre><code>[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)] static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string lpClassName, string lpWindowName); [DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)] static extern uint RegisterWindowMessage(string lpString); [DllImport("user32.dll")] static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, uint Msg, UIntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam); private uint message; </code></pre> <p>In the screen saver's initialization code:</p> <pre><code>message = RegisterWindowMessage("LaunchBrowser"); </code></pre> <p>In the screen saver's browser launching code:</p> <pre><code>SendMessage(FindWindow(null, "BrowserLauncher"), message, UIntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero); </code></pre> <p>In the separate process's form class:</p> <pre><code>[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)] static extern uint RegisterWindowMessage(string lpString); private uint message; </code></pre> <p>In the separate process's Form_Load code:</p> <pre><code>message = RegisterWindowMessage("LaunchBrowser"); Text = "BrowserLauncher"; </code></pre> <p>And override the separate process's form's WndProc:</p> <pre><code>protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) { if (m.Msg == message) { Process.Start("iexplore.exe", "http://www.google.com"); } base.WndProc(ref m); } </code></pre> <p>(You'll want to make the separate process's form hidden, of course.)</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
