Features

This display mode contains the following functions for breakpoints:

Breakpoint Display

The scrollable breakpoint display contains up to 30 dynamic breakpoints. For breakpoints that you set directly, the program name and line number at which the breakpoint occurs are displayed. For special breakpoint forms, the list displays the statements, events, subroutines, and module calls at which the relevant breakpoints are set.

Counters

In the breakpoint display, you can specify a counter. When you use a counter, the breakpoint is not activated until it has been reached a specified number of times. For example, if you enter 5 for the counter, the breakpoint is not activated until it is reached for the fifth time. After the breakpoint has been activated, it remains so, and the counter no longer appears in the breakpoint display.

Position the cursor on the breakpoint that you want to delete, and either double-click the line or choose Start of the navigation path Breakpoint Next navigation step Set/Delete End of the navigation path. To delete all breakpoints, choose Start of the navigation path Breakpoint Next navigation step Delete all End of the navigation path.

Activating and Deactivating Breakpoints
