Display Style

You can change the way items in the Breakpoint List window are displayed by selecting Options->Display style, then selecting those items you want from the Select Items list in the Display Style dialog.

The Select Items list in the Display Style dialog contains the following items:

Type
The type of breakpoint, for example, Line or Address
Executable
The name of the executable the breakpoint applies to
Source
The name of the compilation unit the breakpoint applies to
File
The source file
Function
The function containing the breakpoint
Line
The source code line containing the breakpoint
Address
The address of the breakpoint
State
Whether the breakpoint is enabled or disabled
Status
Whether the breakpoint is active or inactive
Thread
What threads the breakpoint applies to
Expression
An optional expression that must evaluate to true for the breakpoint to cause execution to stop.
From
The first encounter of the breakpoint that causes execution to stop. For example, if this value is set to 5, each run command could, if no other breakpoints are encountered and the program does not terminate, pass over the breakpoint four times before stopping the fifth time.
To
The last encounter of the breakpoint that causes execution to stop.
Every
The frequency at which encounters of the breakpoint cause execution to stop. For example, if Every is set to 2, the breakpoint causes execution to stop every other time the breakpoint is encountered.

If you select the Reset pushbutton any changes you have made in the Display Style dialog are discarded, and the dialog is refreshed to show the display style in effect when you opened the dialog. If you select Default the default items are displayed in the Breakpoint List window.
