    <p>Danny is onto something with the transparent window idea. But it doesn't have to be transparent. You would have to accept some certain limitations though.</p> <p>You would want to <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dialog/screencap.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">grab a screen shot</a> of the desktop and apply it to a full screen WPF window. (Check out my <a href="http://www.josheinstein.com/blog/index.php/2010/02/fullscreenbehavior-wpf/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">blog</a> for a handy FullScreenBehavior for WPF Window). Then you would just apply some epilepsy-inducing animation to a translate layout transform on the root element. This would give the effect of shaking. At the end the window could just close.</p> <p>Since during the animation the coordinates of everything will be all over the place, you probably don't want to be bothered with trying to translate mouse clicks on the moving desktop to the underlying control. If the animation is short enough it won't matter because you won't have time to try to click anything while it is shaking.</p> <p>For more realism you could look into using the DWM (Desktop Window Manager) to project a "live" view of the desktop but that's probably not worth it especially if you keep the animation very short.</p> <p>I almost want to try this myself for fun.</p> <p>I came up with this using a static image for now. It's ok but it could be improved.</p> <pre><code>&lt;Image Source="Slide1.png" Stretch="UniformToFill"&gt; &lt;Image.Effect&gt; &lt;BlurEffect Radius="5" /&gt; &lt;/Image.Effect&gt; &lt;Image.RenderTransform&gt; &lt;TranslateTransform Y="0" X="0"/&gt; &lt;/Image.RenderTransform&gt; &lt;Image.Triggers&gt; &lt;EventTrigger RoutedEvent="FrameworkElement.Loaded"&gt; &lt;BeginStoryboard&gt; &lt;Storyboard RepeatBehavior="00:00:01" SpeedRatio="15"&gt; &lt;DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TranslateTransform.X)"&gt; &lt;SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00.1000000" Value="-10"/&gt; &lt;SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00.3000000" Value="0"/&gt; &lt;SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00.5000000" Value="10"/&gt; &lt;SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00.7000000" Value="0"/&gt; &lt;/DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames&gt; &lt;DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TranslateTransform.Y)"&gt; &lt;SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00.1000000" Value="-10"/&gt; &lt;SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00.3000000" Value="-10"/&gt; &lt;SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00.5000000" Value="10"/&gt; &lt;SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00.7000000" Value="10"/&gt; &lt;SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00.9000000" Value="0"/&gt; &lt;/DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames&gt; &lt;/Storyboard&gt; &lt;/BeginStoryboard&gt; &lt;/EventTrigger&gt; &lt;/Image.Triggers&gt; &lt;/Image&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COThis actually sounds a bit evil (no offense, it is interesting technically speaking). Imagine fake antivirus applications that do this to prevent you from leaving their windows.

    2. COWell that's why Silverlight web apps won't let you make full screen windows that accept keyboard input. But this is about WPF which has full access to the Windows API so showing a full screen window is not a concern. If a WPF app is running on your desktop then it can already do whatever it wants. That's what Control+Alt+Delete sequence is for.

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).
