The Breakpoint Properties dialog box opens when you choose the Breakpoint Properties tool from the Breakpoints window or the Breakpoint Properties command from the shortcut menu. With this dialog box, you can edit the properties that define the breakpoint.
When this dialog box opens, you will see one or more tabs. One tab will be active, depending on the type of breakpoint you are editing. The following table shows the tabs in the Breakpoint Properties dialog box.
| To | See |
|---|---|
| Set properties for a breakpoint on a function at the beginning of the function or at an offset from the beginning | Function, Breakpoint Properties Dialog Box |
| Set properties for a breakpoint on a source file | File, Breakpoint Properties Dialog Box |
| Set properties for a breakpoint on a memory location | Address, Breakpoint Properties Dialog Box |
| Set properties for a breakpoint on a variable | Data, Breakpoint Properties Dialog Box |
Below the tabs, you will see the following buttons:
Condition
By default, execution of your program breaks every time the breakpoint is hit. A breakpoint may have a condition that will be tested each time the breakpoint is hit. If the condition is satisfied, your program breaks. Otherwise, execution continues. Choose this button to edit the condition or specify a new condition.
Hit Count
By default, execution of your program breaks every time the breakpoint is hit. A breakpoint can have a specified hit count property. In that case, execution breaks only if the hit count has a specified value. The hit count is the number of times the breakpoint is hit. Choose Hit Count to edit the hit count property or specify a new hit count.
