    <p>I would go with AutoIT, it's a very easy to learn windows scripting language with tons of functionalities: <a href="http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/index.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/index.shtml</a></p> <p>I'm using it to automate some tasks, but it can do way more than that.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>Just to make things a little bit clearer for everybody:</p> <p>You can create new applications using AutoIT and the Aut2Exe compiler provided. The .exe files created are stand-alone, thus require no other files but the files that you might need in your app. Everything is free and the AutoIT scripting language has a BASIC-like syntax.</p> <p>The GUI that you'll use are standard Windows controls. Among the functionalities you have the possibility to automate keystrokes/mouse movements, call the Windows API and external .dlls, manipulate windows and processes and through user created libraries (called UDFs) you can even acces local databases, manage networking tasks, encryption, archiving and many more. </p> <p>All I can say is that it's worth take a look and the first app I built with AutoIT was done in roughly 8 hours since I started learning. It took a folder as the source and copied everything in a chosen directory, copying files in folders named as the date when the files were created. So the destination directory would have a series of subfolders like:</p> <ul> <li>11.11.2010 <ul> <li>whatever.txt</li> <li>whatever.png</li> </ul></li> <li>12.11.2010 <ul> <li>archive.zip</li> </ul></li> </ul> <p>and so on. Just 8 hours and got me rid of a lot of effort ordering the files myself.</p>

    1. COI took a quick look at the link, but it doesn't say anything about allowing to _write_ GUI applications, only to _script_ already existing applications.

    2. CO@Larry Lustig You must've read wrong: AutoIt v3 is a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting. Meaning, you can use Windows-specific GUI, but not script existing apps. You can built anything from games, chatting programs to file utilities, you name it. It won't be as powerfull as .NET or C++, but the fact that's easy to learn, produces native .exe and doesn't rely on external .dlls is a big plus in my opinion. Read more about it and you'll see.

    3. COYour description mentions nothing about _creating_ new applications, only scripting against existing applications — and the website discusses scripting against existing windows and controls, but not creating an application. Are there any commercial applications written in AutoIT? Is there an AutoIT compiler?

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.
