Debug Toolbar

See Also   Tasks

Contains buttons that are shortcuts to some menu items frequently used in debugging code.

You can:

• Click a toolbar button once to carry out the action represented by that button.
  
  
• Drag the toolbar to another location or along one side of the workspace.
  
  
• Resize the toolbar. If you make it shorter, the buttons wrap and the toolbar changes size to accommodate the buttons. However, if the toolbar is longer than the workspace or window is wide, appear. To view all of the buttons, resize the toolbar or drag it to another location.
