The Debugger’s View menu offers access to four tool windows, described below, that help you track program elements during a debugging session.

Variables

Lists variables found in the currently selected program. You can limit the extent of the variable search by deselecting options in the Debugger Options dialog box (File|Options).

Watches

The Watch tool window lets you specify particular variables, fields, and expressions that you would like to watch as the program code executes. The window shows the changing values for the watched items as you test the program (by clicking buttons, sending queries, and so on).

Call Stack

This tool window displays a list of subroutines called by the current program. Each call to a separate program file (or module) is displayed as it occurs, showing its line number, function name, and path name.

Trace

Displays the output that appears in the Output panel of the Command window.
