Breakpoints Window

See Also

The Breakpoints window lists the breakpoints set in the current project. You can open the Breakpoints window by choosing Window submenu Debugging submenu Breakpoints (Ctrl-Alt-5). If you open the Breakpoints window when a debugging session is running, it closes automatically when you end the debugging session. If you open the window when no debugging session is running, it stays open until you close it.

By default, each entry contains a short textual description of the breakpoint and a boolean flag indicating whether the breakpoint is enabled or disabled. You can enable or disable a breakpoint directly in the Breakpoints window by changing the Enabled property.

Icons

The icon to the left of the breakpoint summary distinguishes the type of the breakpoint.
