    <p>Since the System tray icons do not have text accompanying them, you can either overlay the text on the icon itself, or use a tooltip-style pop-up.</p> <p>Overlaying text (probably by embedding it in a proceduraly generated icon) would be very fiddly, but more importantly is probably a bad idea, since icons are best used to display categorical status information, with more detailed information being available in pop-up text or a pop-up window.</p> <p>For example, if an icon is representing inbox status, then it is enough to show "new mail" versus "no new mail", without needing to show number of new mails. That allows for a clearer icon to be displayed that does not need to be deciphered in detail by the user.</p> <p>A greyer area is an icon indicating a process status. You could just have "in progress" versus "complete" icons, but I have seen icons with progress bars embedded in them, that I thought was a neat way to do it. Obviously a progress bar in a tiny icon is not really displaying precise numerical data, and can be closer to expressing categorical data (not done at all, part-way done, complete) depending upon resolution.</p> <p>If you decide to follow this approach, then this link should help:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/WPF_xaml_taskbar_window.aspx" rel="nofollow">Code Project article</a> showing how to change an icon, show pop-up text and a pop-up window using WPF.</li> </ul> <p>If you still feel your use case merits overlaying text on an icon, then I think procedurally generating the icon is going to be the way to do it. I think you'll need to add the text to an image first, then convert it to an icon. These links should help you with that:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.switchonthecode.com/tutorials/csharp-snippet-tutorial-how-to-draw-text-on-an-image" rel="nofollow">Turn on the Code C# snippet for adding text to an image</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/IconLib.aspx" rel="nofollow">Code Prject article on creating an .ico file on the fly</a> - very comprehensive, and probably a bit overkill for your needs, but you can pull out the code for your use.</li> </ul>

    1. COWhy do you think generating icon on the fly with some text is bad idea? Still you didn't answer my question how to add text on icon. :(

    2. COI think it is generally a bad idea because icons are best used to display categorical information rather than precise numerical data. I'll update my answer to clarify this, and add some hints for procedural icon creation if you still want to go ahead with it.

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.
