<H1>The Local Variables Window</H1>
|
||
|
|
<H2>Overview</H2>
|
||
|
|
<p>The Local Variables Window displays all local variables in scope. It may be used to
|
||
|
|
visualize and edit local variables. To open the Local Variables window, click on
|
||
|
|
small house icon on the toolbar, or select "Local Variables" under the View
|
||
|
|
pulldown menu.</p>
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
<H3>Locals Display</H3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Pointers, structures, and classes appear in the display with small expansion
|
||
|
|
box before their names. To dereference pointers or
|
||
|
|
view the members of classes or structures, click
|
||
|
|
the closed expansion box (which appears as a small plus sign, "+") to "expand"
|
||
|
|
the listing. The expansion box changes to a minus sign, "-", indicating that the
|
||
|
|
display is now open. Pointers, structures and classes may be expanded recursively
|
||
|
|
to allow multiple pointer dereferences and embedded structure viewing.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<P>The Locals Display updates after every execution of the program and highlights
|
||
|
|
in green those variables whose values have changed.</P>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<P>The Locals Window will, by default, display all pointers in hexadecimal and all
|
||
|
|
other variables in decimal. To change the display format for a variable, select
|
||
|
|
the Format option from the popup-menu.</P>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<H3>Editing a Variable</H3>
|
||
|
|
<p>To edit a variable, either double-click the left mouse button on the value of the variable in
|
||
|
|
the display or select the Edit option from the pop-up menu. To abort editing a variable's value,
|
||
|
|
simply press the escape key on the keyboard. The variable's original value is restored.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<H3>Local Variable Pop-up Menu</H3>
|
||
|
|
<p>The pop-up menu provides quick access to the functions of the Local Variables Window.
|
||
|
|
To use the pop-up menu, click the right mouse button while over a variable.</p>
