Monitoring Variables Using the Breakpoints Dialog Box

The Monitor tab of the Breakpoints dialog box lets you monitor value changes in the variables in your program. The Monitor tab lists all the variables that you want to monitor, and allows you to add variables to the list or delete variables from the list.

To monitor a variable while debugging:

  1. Select Breakpoints from the Debug menu to open the Breakpoints dialog box, then select the Monitor tab.
