    <p><strong>Exact Duplicate</strong>: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/527950/how-to-make-always-on-bottom-window">How to make 'always on bottom' window?</a><br> <strong>Related:</strong> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/365094/window-on-desktop">Window on desktop?</a></p> <hr> <p>I'm developing a small application in Delphi that need to behave like a shell (replacement) launching pad (for Windows Embedded). I have some icons/buttons on it that will launch other applications. The point is that applications need to stay all the time in front of the "shell". Additionally the applications are started using simple-click, but if double click (accidentally) is used the application will go behind (the "shell" will be focused) </p> <p>Since this application will replace the actual shell (Explorer) will have to behave similarly to Explorer ... so it has to stay in "background" all the time and should not appear in ALT+TAB list.</p> <p>I tested a lot of combinations of <em>SetWindowPos</em> with <em>HWND&#95;BOTTOM</em>, <em>SWP&#95;NOACTIVATE</em> etc. without success.. </p> <p>Additionally I found some info regarding this but it doesn't work as advertised:<br> <a href="http://www.delphifaq.com/faq/delphi/windows_GUI/f499.shtml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">How to keep a form always in the background (bottommost)</a></p> <p>Any hints how to achieve all these ?</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> For hiding the window from ALT-TAB list/switcher (and from Taskbar, but since I'm interested to create shell replacement that will be no Taskbar) I found the following articles:</p> <p><a href="http://delphi.about.com/od/adptips1999/qt/hidefromtaskbar.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Hide a Delphi Application Button from the TaskBar</a><br> <a href="http://delphi.about.com/od/delphitips2008/qt/hide_taskbutton.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Hide a Delphi 2007 Application Button from the TaskBar (with MainFormOnTaskBar)</a></p>

    1. CODo you completly replace explorer.exe as your shell, or do you try to 'cover up' explorer with your own application?

    2. COI need to create a "shell" replacement for a Windows Embedded solution where I can not use the regular Explorer shell. So I try to emulate how the Explorer behaves = stay on the bottom all the time and does not appear in ALT-TAB list.

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.
