Set Data Breakpoints

A data breakpoint can be set on standard variables, a static array and on the root value of a dictionary, but will not work with a pointer to a value, a dynamically allocated array or with values within a dictionary.

To set a data breakpoint:

1. Ensure that the module containing the variable is running.
2. Working within the module content window, select the variable on which you wish to set the data breakpoint.
3. Click the Toggle Breakpoint tool in the toolbar or press F9.

By default, data breakpoints are triggered when data is set in the selected variable. If you prefer that the breakpoint be triggered whenever data changes in the variable, proceed as follows:

1. Select the data breakpoint in the breakpoints tab of the action window.
2. Click the Breakpoint Properties button in the toolbar or press Alt-F9.
   The Breakpoint Properties dialog opens.
3. Select the option, Break on data change.
