Summary: You can enter new values for variables in the Local window.
The Local window shows all local variables in the current scope. The Local window is similar to the Watch window, except that the variables that are displayed change as the local scope changes. A variable in the Local window is always shown in its default type format. When you edit in the Local window, you can toggle between insert and overtype modes by pressing the INS key.
You can expand and contract pointers, structures, and arrays the same way you do in the Watch window. You can also change the values of the variables as in the Watch window.
The keyboard shortcut to open or switch to the Local window is ALT+1.
You can see the local variables of each active routine in the stack by selecting the routine from the Calls menu. For more information on this feature, see “The Calls Menu”.
By default, the Local window shows the addresses of the local variables on the left side of the window. You can turn this address display on or off using the Options (O) command. For more information on the Options command, see page 445.
