    <p>Tricky problem. I could not find a good fix for this, merely a workaround. Add a new class and paste the code shown below. Compile. Drop the new control from the top of the toolbox onto your form.</p> <p>The workaround is not a very good one. The problem is that the dropdown window will ignore the attempt to move it until the drop-down animation is complete. The visual effect is not great, you'll see the window drop down, then jump to the left. I don't know an other way to slap it over the head, maybe somebody else does.</p> <p><strong>C# version:</strong></p> <pre><code>using System; using System.Drawing; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; public class MyComboBox : ComboBox { protected override void OnDropDown(EventArgs e) { // Is dropdown off the right side of the screen?

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.
