How You Can View Object Variables
You can determine how you want to view object variables in the Debugger by clicking View, Examine Values from the Debugger menu. Options on the Examine Values submenu include the following:
As List with Object Heading
Lists attributes for the variable by object class with the class name in parentheses as a heading for each class
As List with no Heading
Lists attributes for the variable by object class with no heading given
By Object Node
Groups attributes by object class under an object node for the class. The object node for the class can be expanded to display the attributes that belong to the class.
Default: As List with Object Heading
Select a Display Option
You can select a display option for the Debugger window.
To select a display option
1. Click View, Examine Values in the Debugger window.
A pop-up menu appears.
2. Select or clearing an option from the menu by dragging the cursor over the option and clicking.
A checkmark to the left of the option indicates that it is selected.
In the expanded display, attributes are listed under the system class for which they are defined. The system classes are listed in hierarchical order from highest to lowest. For example, in most listings, the Object system class appears first with its defined attribute, Classname.
