    <p>Alpha-transparency forms aren't well supported IME (either by the clients or the servers, depending on their versions).</p> <p>You also have to worry about colors, most remote desktop operate in 16 bit colors, or even just 256 colors, if you have a clean modern UI, you may need to dumb it down into "ugly" mode so that everything is guaranteed to be readable.<br> In the same vein, beware of anti-aliased text, which is a must on any modern UI, but can result in unreadable blurred characters on low-color RDP.</p> <p>There are can be other issues with notifications bubbles and other shell-based effects, so you'll probably want to handle them yourself, in regular forms, rather than rely on the Windows API functionality.</p> <p>Graphically speaking, double-buffering can be a double-edged sword, in some cases (low-key graphics) it can be beneficial to turn it off, but if you have more advanced renderings (gradients, transparent bitmaps, scaled bitmaps, fancy fonts, anti-aliased lines etc.) you can get better looks and speed with double-buffering, as a slight lag can be better than interactive drawing with flickering.<br> Also some bitmaps can get through faster than others, the usual fast compressions used in RDP favour vertical gradients over horizontal gradients f.i.</p> <p>Another issue will be with the files rights, if your application never had to run under a regular user account. Also special folders (like temp) and registry keys can have different (dynamic) locations, and restrictions. But if you're application as already been running under an restricted user account, you should already have everything covered.</p>

    1. CO+1 good points. I'm not sure that most remote desktops operate with so few colours. For example the default settings no the Win7 machine I am at right now are for 32 bit colour. Anti-aliasing would best be handled by using the systems settings rather than hard coding. But that's best practice anyway and I believe is what happens by default with a Delphi app.

    2. CORDP on a Win7 machine is about the best situation you can face. IME when people go for RDP, they also often go for cheap clients, meaning bare-bones Linux-based all-in-one client boxes.

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.
