The Debug menu, which differs significantly from its Visual Basic 6.0 counterpart, contains only two commands: Step Into and Go. Both commands start the toolkit’s debugger, which runs as a separate application. Step Into halts execution at the first line of code. Go starts an application so that you can manually set breakpoints in the debugger. Most of the standard debugging commands are available as part of the debugger and therefore do not appear on the Debug menu in the IDE.
The following table shows the Debug menu commands contained in the toolkit.
Command |
Description |
Step Into | Runs an application one line at a time. |
Go | Runs the application, enabling you to set breakpoints in the debugger. |
For more information on the debugger, see Using the Debugger later in this guide.
