Body
This is a tricky one. I want to make a program that draws a bar across the top of the desktop. I then want every window that opens up to not draw over this title bar even if a given desktop window is maximized. I remember I saw something similar to this being done but I don't remember the program. I guess those extend taskbar type programs must do something similar to have windows not overlap the extended taskbar on the second monitor. What framework in windows is require to make this happen? active accessibility to see when windows are created and then somehow get the window handle and resize and position it? I can iterate through the window list and move them but what about when they open or are maximized? Any ideas how this behavior is achieved?

2. COThanks Amazed. A little different case though as he is talking about topmost-ness and I want to resize and move all windows. But, yeah, I need to be on the top of the hierarchy and control things. Heavens, should someone else try... but I can wake up and knock him unconscious, right!? :)

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.
