Lesson 3: Using Breakpoints

Breakpoints in more detail…

  • Breakpoints can be placed on any line of code that executes in the program
  • If an attempt is made to place a breakpoint at a location where the debugger cannot execute it the Studio will automatically move it to the next line that does execute
  • Breakpoints are normally placed inside procedures or functions
    • If placed outside of procedures or functions the breakpoints will only be hit when the program loads
  • Breakpoints can be added, removed, enabled or disabled by right-clicking in the left margin of the Studio
  • Breakpoints can be conditional
  • Disabling breakpoints leaves them in place for later use with any applied conditions still intact 
    • Deleting a breakpoint completely removes it and all applied conditions
