Modifying breakpoint properties
You can change the following properties of a breakpoint:
- Which threads the breakpoint applies to.
- How often the debugger should skip the breakpoint (the frequency).
- Whether to stop on the breakpoint only when a given expression is true. Expressions can
only be applied to the following breakpoints:
- line breakpoints
- function breakpoints
- method breakpoints
- address breakpoints
- Whether to defer the breakpoint. Only the following breakpoints can be
deferred:
- line breakpoints
- function breakpoints
- method breakpoints
You can also change the Required parameters fields for a breakpoint. Changing
these fields results in the existing breakpoint being deleted and a new breakpoint being
set.
To change a breakpoint's properties:
- Click on the Breakpoints tab to bring the Breakpoints pane to the
foreground.
- In the Breakpoints pane, expand the list of breakpoints until you see the breakpoint you
want to modify.
- Right-click on the breakpoint you want to modify.
- Select Modify Breakpoint from the pop-up menu. A Breakpoint dialog
corresponding to the breakpoint type appears displaying the current settings for the
breakpoint.
- Change the breakpoint's properties in the Breakpoint dialog.
