Debugger Window

  • Article

The Visual FoxPro Debugger window contains the Debugger menus, the Debugger toolbar, and several debugging windows.

This window is activated when you choose Debugger from the main Visual FoxPro Tools Menu, as long as the Environment option on the Debug menu (under Options on the Tools menu) is set to Debug Frame. If FoxPro Frame is selected, the Debugger window will not be accessible, and the individual debugger windows will be available from the FoxPro main menu.
