# Debugging tips with the objects grid view

General behavior

- Double clicking on the grid's header separator will resize the corresponding column. If you hold the [SHIFT] key at the same time, it will resize according to the displayed cells.
- Right clicking on the header's cell will popup a menu that enable or disable the auto resizing on the selected column. This can be useful to resize automatically the "name" column when inspecting an object value.
- Pressing [CONTROL] + [E] when the selected line represents a value with potential text representation (STRING, DEBUG_OUPUT ...) will open the expanded view dialog

Watch tools (alias evaluation tool)

- Dropping an object value on a watch tool will open the expression definition dialog with the object's address filled. This way you can evalute expression directly on this object. If you press [Ctrl] during the dropping, the dropped object will be added as expression in the watch tool as itself.
- You can also drop the object on the notebook tab of the wanted watch tool.
