    <p>I've written C++ event-driven apps using MFC for GUI buttons, and I use HTML events like onmousedown to trigger some Javascript in a webpage. The idea of event-driven programming is intuitive when you are using the interface and events are hard-coded.</p> <p>I know how to use a function pointer in C, and I see how Windows uses them to run an event loop. I can write code to dynamically call a different function.</p> <p>My problem is, moving away from compile-time and into runtime. I'm talking any language here, but if you need a language, choose Javascript, or PHP as I use them most these days. I don't have a grasp at all of how I might use my own event object to get something done. It's just not a concept I get. And since I don't use them, I don't know what their practical use might be.</p> <p>For example, I suppose that if I wanted to make a custom turn-based game, that I might use event objects to represent an effect of some game-piece ability that just needs to "happen."</p> <p>Can someone give me a simple use of custom events? Or situations where it is useful or practical? Does it depend largely on the language and environment and how events are handled? A Javascript answer would be good, but I read many languages.</p> <p>Sorry I am just deficient in this regard and need some practical, advanced (intermediate?) insight. It's like pointers in C. I "get" pointers and how they are your friend. But there was a time where I didn't, and many people I know still don't. It's simple once you get it, I just don't get custom, dynamic events that way.</p>

    1. COThanks for the answers guys! I know the question was unclear but as I said that was because I didn't know enough to ask right. I should have said "Teach me event-driven concepts!" (But that's not a question) I was also wondering if there were some cool secret tricks to refactor code easier.

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.
