    <p>Here are a few options:</p> <ol> <li><p>The easy way is to just create a <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.label%28v=vs.80%29.aspx">label</a> outside the text box (to the left) with those characters. (simple and easy to understand for the user)</p></li> <li><p>Create a second readonly text box to use at the start, style it to match the input one and align them next to each other. Yes, you will get a single pixel line to split them both, but I think this will add to the user experience to make it obvious this is not for messing with (I would personally choose this option)</p></li> <li><p>If you need the style you can <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a6h7e207%28v=vs.71%29.aspx">roll your own user control</a> that uses a panel, label and textbox with appropriate border styling set as needed. (best way to get the exact style you need)</p></li> <li><p>The fourth, more annoying way, would be to handle one of the key events (such as <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.keydown.aspx">KeyDown</a>) on the textbox itself. With this you can do numerous checks and alter the caret position to make it work, but trust me this will do your head in trying to get it working perfectly! (way too much hard work to get right)</p></li> </ol> <p>To summarise, I think <strong>option 2</strong> is the best here. Of course if you were using WPF you would undoubtedly have a lot more flexibility in styling.</p>

    1. COOption 5: Implicitely add the `http://` if it’s missing, just like a browser does. So when I enter `stackoverflow.com` and the text box loses the focus, change it to `http://stackoverflow.com`. If it already starts with `http://` leave it there, or even accept more than just `http` as the protocol.

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).
