    <p><a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dialog/custom_windows.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This article</a> describes how to draw custom windows. The author also shows how to draw non-rectangular windows.</p> <p>If you could use WPF instead of Windows Forms, this is a good article about customizing window drawing:<br> <a href="http://www.codeguru.com/csharp/.net/net_wpf/article.php/c16379/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.codeguru.com/csharp/.net/net_wpf/article.php/c16379/</a></p> <p>There is also a question with some good answers here on SO: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1469727/creating-custom-forms-in-wpf">Creating custom forms in WPF?</a></p> <p><strong>Update:</strong><br> I think that skinning and custom drawing is fun to do from a programmers perspective, but I also think that there is almost no benefit for the user.<br> The creators of the platform you are developing for might have put a lot of effort into the design of their windowing toolkits.<br> If you just want to change some visual aspects of your application you also should take into account that you might miss some important other aspects of UI design: </p> <ul> <li>consistency</li> <li>accessibility</li> <li>aesthetics (if you are overdoing effects, gradients, ...)</li> <li>internationalization</li> <li>...</li> </ul> <p>As you are developing for Windows, you also lose the skinning ability of the OS itself. And I think that some of the skins that come with newer versions of Windows are pretty good.</p>

    1. COThe first part of this answer is good, but the second part (thinking about the benefit to the user) is better ;-p

    3. CO+1 another upvote for mentioning the custom UI might be fun but hardly ever really useful to the endusers.....

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
