To open the QuickWatch dialog box
— or —
As the name implies, you can use QuickWatch to quickly evaluate a variable or expression.
You can also use QuickWatch to edit the value of a variable or register. (You cannot edit the value of const variables. You can edit and display register values for native-code applications only.)
QuickWatch is a modal dialog box. You cannot leave it open to watch a variable or expression while you step through your program. If you need to do that, use the Watch window. You can add variables or expressions to the Watch window from the QuickWatch dialog box.
If you want to save a variable or expression you have been examining in QuickWatch, you can add it to the Watch window.
