QuickWatch Dialog Box
The QuickWatch dialog box opens when you choose QuickWatch from the Debug menu. The debugger must be in a break state.
The QuickWatch dialog box enables you to view variables and to register contents for native-code applications, C/C++ expressions, assembly-language expressions, Visual Basic expressions, SQL expressions, and Script expressions.
In addition, you can use the QuickWatch dialog box to change the value of any variable except const variables or the contents of any register.
The Current Value box displays the value and type for variables, registers, and expressions you have specified. You can add a variable, register, or expression to this box by typing it in the Expression box.
- Expression
- In this box, you can type a variable name or any valid expression recognized by the debugger. The drop-down list contains previously entered expressions that you can select to save the trouble of retyping.
- Recalculate
- Choose this button to evaluate the variable or expression in the Expression box and display the results in Current value.
- Add Watch
- Choose this button to add the contents of Expression box to the Watch window.
- Current value
- When you choose Recalculate, this box displays the expression from the Expression box in the Name column, the value of the expression in the Value column, and the data type of the value in the Type column.
