Working with properties

You can examine or change the properties of a breakpoint or a breakpoint group.

Breakpoint properties

Breakpoint properties include the breakpoint group to which it belongs, a conditional parameter, and thread instructions.

Setting a condition for the breakpoint stops the program when the specified condition occurs at a specific statement.

You can specify whether the breakpoint applies to all threads or only the current thread.

To change breakpoint properties, complete the following steps:

  1. In the Breakpoints pane or the Source window, right click the breakpoint and select Breakpoint Properties.
  2. In the Breakpoint Properties dialog, change any of the available properties.
  3. Click OK.

Breakpoint groups

Breakpoint groups properties include only the name and color of the group.

To change the properties of a breakpoint group, complete the following steps:

  1. In the Breakpoints pane, right-click the appropriate breakpoint group and select Breakpoint Group Properties.
  2. In the Breakpoint Group Properties dialog, change any of the available properties.
  3. Click OK.
