Use

With the Objects tool you can display classes and their instances (objects) together with their technical properties and update relationships.

To open an object in the object display, select the Objects tab and enter the name of the object.

The object display consists of two views, which are represented by the tabs Objects and Display.

Objects

The names and status of all objects previously displayed in the current Debugger session are shown on this tab page.

If you double-click an object in this list, you can take a look at the object in the Display.

The standard services provided allow you to search and save the individual display of an object as a local file.

Individual Display

The following detailed information is displayed for each object:

  • The name of the object is in the Object field. This name indicates the object type. You can find a description of the object types under Naming Conventions for Anonymous Memory Objects.

  • If the object is addressed using a reference variable, the name of the reference is also displayed in the Reference field.

  • If you select F4 in the View field, you reach the dialog box where you can select a superclass or an interface from the inheritance hierarchy of the object. The system displays only the attributes inherited from this superclass or the attributes contained in the selected interface.

  • There are further Display Mode Functions available for displaying attributes, events, references, and inheritance hierarchies, which are available in the form of icons below the View input field.
