Variables Area

The right portion of the window hosts the Variables Area. This area is divided into two parts:

• Current Variables: it is the list of the variables included in the current statement followed by the variables that were included in the previous statement.

• Watched Variables: it is the list of variables that are monitored during the debug session. In order to add a variable to this list, right click in the Variables Area and select "New watched variable" from the pop-up menu. Variables can be added to this list also through the Quick watch.

Right clicking over the Variables Area opens a pop-up menu with the following options:

Expand all	Expands the group variables shown as tree-views
Collapse all	Collapses the group variables shown as tree-views
Change value	Opens a dialog that allows you to edit the value of the selected variable
Add monitor	Creates a monitor on the selected variable
Auto Refresh	If activated, it refreshes the content of variables at each step command
Show Hex Values	Enables or disables the display of hex values in the Variables Area lists
New watched variable	Opens a dialog that allows you to add a new item to the list of Watched Variables
Remove	Removes the selected item from the list of Watched Variables
Remove All	Clears the list of Watched Variables
