I've got a WPF Window that I made fullscreen by assigning the following properties: <pre><code>WindowState = Maximized WindowStyle = None Topmost = true </code></pre> This works very good so far. Now I got two <code>TextBlocks</code> on my <code>Window</code> that I both want to center horizontally. Since it's fullscreen my idea was to just calculate the position from the screen's resolution. So I tried the following: <pre><code>private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { IntPtr handle = WinApi.getWindowByName("myWindow"); int height = Screen.FromHandle(handle).Bounds.Height; int width = Screen.FromHandle(handle).Bounds.Width; textBlock1.Margin = new Thickness(width / 2 - textBlock1.ActualWidth, height / 10, width / 2 - textBlock1.ActualWidth, height / 1.5); textBlock2.Margin = new Thickness(width / 2 - textBlock2.ActualWidth, height / 10, width / 2 - textBlock2.ActualWidth, height / 3); } </code></pre> <code>WinApi</code> is a class from me that encapsulates <code>WinApi</code>. I'm using <code>ActualWidth</code> since the width of both <code>TextBlocks</code> is set to <code>Auto</code>. Getting the screen's dimensions works fine so far. However the textBlocks are not rendered exactly in the middle of the screen. I know that for sure because they are both rendered at different horizontal positions. My XAML: <pre><code><Window x:Class="MyApp.MyWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="test" Height="300" Width="300" WindowState="Maximized" WindowStyle="None" Topmost="True" Background="#FF0000DC" Foreground="#FFF4FCF8" Loaded="Window_Loaded"> <Grid> <TextBlock x:Name="textBlockHeader" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Background="White" Foreground="#FF0C04DB" FontWeight="Bold" FontFamily="Lucida Console" Width="Auto" Height="Auto" Text="Header" TextAlignment="Center"/> <TextBlock x:Name="textBlockText" HorizontalAlignment="Center" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Center" TextAlignment="Center" FontFamily="Lucida Console" Text="text"/> </Grid> </Window> </code></pre>

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.
