Using the Autos Window

To display the Autos window

The Autos window displays variables used in the current statement and the previous statement. The current statement is the statement at the current execution location (the statement that will be executed next if execution continues). The debugger identifies these variables for you automatically, hence the window name.

Structure and array variables have a tree control that you can use to display or hide the elements.

To modify the value of a variable in the Autos window

  1. Your program must be in a break state.
  2. Display the Autos window, if necessary.
  3. In the Value column, double-click on the value you want to change

    — or —

    Single-click to select the line, then press the TAB key.

  4. Type the new value, and press ENTER.
Caution   Editing floating-point values can result in minor inaccuracies due to decimal-to-binary conversion of fractional components. Even a seemingly innocuous edit can result in changes to some of the least significant bits in the floating-point variable.
