    <p>You can use a TListBox with style set to lbOwnerDrawFixed (if the size of the spacing isn't important) or lbOwnerDrawVariable if it is.</p> <p>You can then handle OnDrawItem &amp; OnMeasureItem accordingly.</p> <p>Using clWindow will be no problem, however AFAIK the orange color is not part of the Windows theme, but you can obtain something that will match the theme by starting from clHighlight and then applying a hue shift, then lightness shift for the shading.</p> <p>If your hue shift is constant, it'll automatically adapt to the theme colors.</p> <p>Sample code (without the HueShift for the orange): drop a TListBox, set lbOwnerDrawFixed, adjust ItemHeight to 28, set font to "Segoe UI" and use the following OnDrawItem</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/UZgS7.jpg" alt="preview"></p> <pre><code>var canvas : TCanvas; txt : String; begin canvas:=ListBox1.Canvas; canvas.Brush.Style:=bsSolid; canvas.Brush.Color:=clWindow; canvas.FillRect(Rect); InflateRect(Rect, -2, -2); if odSelected in State then begin canvas.Pen.Color:=RGB(194, 118, 43); canvas.Brush.Color:=RGB(255, 228, 138); canvas.RoundRect(Rect.Left, Rect.Top, Rect.Right, Rect.Bottom, 6, 6); canvas.Pen.Color:=RGB(246, 200, 103); canvas.RoundRect(Rect.Left+1, Rect.Top+1, Rect.Right-1, Rect.Bottom-1, 6, 6); end; canvas.Font.Color:=clWindowText; canvas.Brush.Style:=bsClear; txt:=ListBox1.Items[Index]; Rect.Left:=Rect.Left+10; canvas.TextRect(Rect, txt, [tfLeft, tfSingleLine, tfVerticalCenter]); end; </code></pre> <p>If you're going to have more than one such components, it's of course preferable to just subclass TListBox, and if you want anti-aliasing for the RoundRect, GR32 or GDI+ can be used.</p> <p>Note that for backward compatibility with XP, "Segoe UI" font should be set dynamically, as it's not available in XP (in XP "Arial" is a good fallback, "Tahoma" looks closer but isn't guaranteed to be there)</p>

    2. COSuch an approach - but using theme drawing function instead of GDI - may indeed be the best approach.

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).
