QuickWatch Dialog Box

The QuickWatch dialog box opens when you choose QuickWatch from the Debug menu. The debugger must be in a break state.

The QuickWatch dialog box enables you to view variables. You can also view Script expressions.

In addition, you can use the QuickWatch dialog box to change the value of any variable.

The Current Value box displays the value and type for variables and expressions you have specified. You can add a variable or expression to this box by typing it in the Expression box.
