You can choose the LocalWalk command from the Object menu to view the local heap for a selected object. You can also choose the GDI LocalWalk or User LocalWalk command to view the GDI or USER local heap, respectively, at any time. Local Walk windows show the following information:
| Window heading | Information displayed |
| OFFSET | Offset of the object from the beginning of the heap. You can use this information to locate the contents of the object within the hexadecimal display of the heap. |
| HANDLE | Handle of the object. |
| SIZE | Size of the object, in bytes. |
| FLAGS | Whether the object is movable, fixed, or free. |
| LCK | Lock count for the object. |
| TYPE | Object type (shown only for GDI and USER heaps). |
The following illustration shows a Local Walk window.
Windows allocates the first object in the local heap, so there are always at least two objects in a local heap.
Following are the commands on the Heap menu:
| Command | Action |
| Info | Displays a message box showing the number of free, movable, and fixed objects; the number of bytes they use; the total number of allocated objects; and the number of bytes they use. |
| Save | Saves the Local Walk display to a file. The first file saved is named HWL00.TXT; subsequent files are numbered sequentially (HWL01.TXT, HWL02.TXT, and so on). The file contains all the information shown in the Local Walk window and a summary of local objects by type (free, movable, fixed, and total allocated). |
Following are the commands on the Sort menu:
| Command | Action |
| Address | Sorts the Local Walk display numerically by address. |
| Flags | Sorts the Local Walk display alphabetically by flags (fixed, free, or movable). |
| Size | Sorts the Local Walk display numerically by object size. |
The Add! menu displays a message box showing the total number of bytes used by selected objects.
