To see a list of breakpoints in a program, choose Debug|Breakpoints.

You can use the Breakpoints list to keep track of existing breakpoints in all open modules. The line number of each breakpoint is listed next to the path name of the program in which it appears.

To delete a breakpoint, select it and click the Delete button.

To delete all breakpoints, click the Delete All button.

To go to any breakpoint, simply double-click the line number of the desired breakpoint (or select it and click Go To). The Breakpoint window closes and the Source window opens to the selected breakpoint.

To conditionally set breakpoints, click Condition to open the Breakpoint Condition dialog box, and type in an expression—such as the value of a variable, a global condition, or any conditional expression that defines a condition in which the current breakpoints should be active. If the condition is not met, breakpoints are ignored.

Line Click the Line radio button to specify a condition for the line currently selected in the Breakpoint window. The conditional expression you enter applies only to the selected breakpoint line.

Global Click the Global radio button to enter a conditional expression for the entire program. For example, you might have noticed that when a global variable reaches a certain value, say 10, the program becomes unstable, but until then everything works fine. To test your observation, you could set the condition x=10 to force all breakpoints to activate when the global variable x reaches 10.
