    <p>This may be a really silly question but it's something I've been struggling with. After changing the LPWSTR in a method it appears to only be changing for that specific method and reverting back immediately after. I know global variables are evil but this is not my choice because it would require changing quite a bit of code. Here's an example of what I'm doing:</p> <p><b>Test.h</b></p> <pre><code>static LPWSTR globalStr = L"This shouldn't be here."; // The ...s are irrelevant code. class Test { public: ... void changeGlobalStr(); void testMethod(); ... ... }; </code></pre> <p><b>Test.cpp</b></p> <pre><code>#include "Test.h" Test::changeGlobalStr() { string testString("This should be here."); // I manipulate testString over the next few lines so a variable is necessary. ... BSTR bConversion = _com_util::ConvertStringToBSTR(testString.c_str()); globalStr = bConversion // This prints out the correct output. wcout &lt;&lt; "globalStr in changeGlobalStr(): " &lt;&lt; globalStr; } </code></pre> <p><b>SecondTest.cpp</b></p> <pre><code>#include "Test.h" Test::testMethod() { changeGlobalStr(); // Get correct output from the print inside the method. wcout &lt;&lt; "globalStr in testMethod(): " &lt;&lt; globalStr; // Now incorrect output is printed. } </code></pre> <p>testMethod() ends up printing out "This shouldn't be here" instead of "This should be here". I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong but I feel like it's something elementary and I'm just very rusty in my C++.</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.
