WATCHES (Windows Menu)

The Watches selection of the Windows Menu toggles the Watch window or tab visiblility. The Watches selection is available when editing and debugging and using the integrated version of the debugger (Tools/Options/Debug). Watches are defined for a program in a project and are saved and restored when the project is closed or opened.

Double-clicking an item in the Watch list allows the item to be edited.

Clicking the Close icon (red X on the title bar) will cause the window or tab to be hidden. The Watches selection of the Windows menu will restore the visibility.

The window's toolbar provides buttons to:

• Position the editor to the selected variable definition

• Add a new watch variable

• Update the selected watch variable

• Delete the selected watch variable or variables

• Select all watch variables

• Clear all watch variable selections

• Promote or Demote the watch variables to a Window or Tab

• Hide the watch window

Double-clicking a watch variable entry will allow the watch variable to be updated.
