FIX: Breakpoint Not Refreshed for Duplicate Watch Window Entry (157766)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 5.0
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 5.0a
This article was previously published under Q157766

SYMPTOMS

The breakpoint for duplicate entries in the Debugger Watch window are not updated unless the focus is moved from one to the other.

WORKAROUND

After setting the breakpoint on one entry if you move to (Highlight) another instance of that entry, then the duplicate is assigned a breakpoint automatically. The reverse behavior occurs when removing the breakpoint.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This has been corrected in Visual FoxPro 6.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Run Visual FoxPro and create an object, for example: 
          MyForm = CREATEOBJECT("Form")
  2. Open the Debugger and enter MyForm as a Watch expression.
  3. Add MyForm as a Watch expression again.
  4. Select the First MyForm entry.
  5. In the Watch window set a breakpoint on the first "MyForm" entry by double-clicking in the blank area to the left of the "+" sign for "MyForm."
  6. Set a breakpoint on the second "MyForm" entry in the same manner as in the previous step. Make sure that you set the breakpoint without selecting the second entry and with the first entry of "MyForm" selected.
In step 5 you have to double-click twice to set the breakpoint. This should not be allowed and should not be necessary. The breakpoints for duplicate entries should be updated automatically so a change (breakpoint Insert/Remove) in one instance affects all other instances of the entry in the Watch window.
