The Watch window (Figure 1-16) appears automatically when watch expressions are defined
in the project (Figure 1-17).
Figure 1-16. The Watch window
Figure 1-17. The Watch window takes action when values meet certain criteria.
You can use the Watch window to do the following:
??? Change the size of a column header, by dragging its border to the right to make it larger
or to the left to make it smaller
??? Drag a selected variable to the Immediate window or the Watch window
Close the window by clicking the Close box. If the Close box is not visible, double-click the
Title bar to make the Close box visible, and then click it.
Watch Window Elements
The Watch window list box columns display information about your watched expressions.
Expression: Stores a conditional phrase defined by the developer to evaluate the value of
the watched variable. For example, if you wanted to know when a string variable named
sCity was equal to New York, you would enter an expression of sCity = "New York".
Value: Lists the value of the expression at the time of entering break mode. You can edit
a value here to alter code execution.
