    <p>First thing that should be clear is that Win32 API calls that are related to windows/messages/focus and etc. <strong>do not</strong> depend on timing. Every thread has its own window/messaging subsystem, there's no race conditions here.</p> <p>What you describe is something else. You actually launch another process (application), which runs concurrently with yours. Note that <code>ShellExecute</code> is an <strong>asynchronous</strong> function. It returns immediately after creating the process, and from now on your application and the process you've created run concurrently.</p> <p>Now, since only one window in the system may have a focus at a time - it's very likely that the process you've created just steals the focus from you. In order to avoid this - you should first wait for that process to finish working, and only then restore the focus to your window and continue working.</p> <p>For this you have to obtain the handle of the created process, and call a Win32 waiting function on it. <code>ShellExecute</code> doesn't return you the handle of the created process. However <code>ShellExecuteEx</code> - does. BTW it also allows you to launch a process with instruction for it not to show the UI, if this is what you want.</p> <p>You should write it like this:</p> <pre><code>SHELLEXECUTEINFO sei; memset(&amp;sei, 0, sizeof(sei)); sei.cbSize = sizeof(sei); sei.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS; sei.lpFile = L"notepad.exe"; sei.nShow = SW_SHOWNORMAL; // or SW_HIDE if you don't want to show it if (ShellExecuteEx(&amp;sei)) { // wait for completion WaitForSingleObject(sei.hProcess, INFINITE); CloseHandle(sei.hProcess); } </code></pre> <p>This should be helpful</p> <p>P.S. Of course you should close the handle of the created process. That is, <code>CloseHandle</code> must be called after <code>WaitForSingleObject</code>.</p>

    1. COThanks A ton. I figured out a different workaround a few days ago, but I implemented this and its a lot less hacked together now.

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.
