    <p>I am in search of an upgradeable read write lock for win32 with the behaviour of pthreads rwlock, where a read lock can be up- and downgraded.</p> <p>What I want:</p> <pre><code>pthread_rwlock_rdlock( &amp;lock ); ...read... if( some condition ) { pthread_rwlock_wrlock( &amp;lock ); ...write... pthread_rwlock_unlock( &amp;lock ); } ...read... pthread_rwlock_unlock( &amp;lock ); </code></pre> <p>The upgrade behaviour is not required by posix, but it works on linux on mac.</p> <p>Currently, I have a working implementation (based on an event, a semaphore and a critical section) that is upgradeable, but the upgrade may fail when readers are active. If it fails a read unlock + recheck + write lock is necessary.</p> <p>What I have:</p> <pre><code>lock.rdlock(); ...read... if( some condition ) { if( lock.tryupgrade() ) { ...write... lock.unlock(); return; } else { lock.unlock(); // &lt;- here, other threads may alter the condition -&gt; lock.wrlock(); if( some condition ) { // so, re-check required ...write... } lock.unlock(); return; } } ...read... lock.unlock(); </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT: The bounty:</strong></p> <p>I am still in search, but want to add some restrictions: it is used intra-process-only (so based on critical sections is ok, WIN32 mutexes are not ok), and it should be pure WIN32 API (no MFC, ATL etc.). Acquiring read locks should be fast (so, acquiring the read lock should not enter a critical section in its fast path). Maybe an InterlockedIncrement based solution is possible?</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.
