Stack Frame |
Drop-down list displays the current stack frame. Click the drop-down list to choose another frame. The current frame selected in the Variables window causes the current frame in the Stack window to change accordingly. Choosing a new frame in the Variables window is the same as choosing a new frame in the Stack window. |
Variable |
Local variable name. If a variable is a reference to a record or object, you can expand the variable if it has a plus sign (+) next to the variable name. If a variable name has a minus sign (-), it is already fully expanded. To expand or collapse a variable, click the plus sign (+) or minus sign (-). |
Value |
Current value for a local variable. The debugger automatically fills in the value. If the value has recently changed in the current execution context, it displays in red. To edit a value, click inside the cell and type a new value. Press the Enter key to set the new value. |
