How do I read a variable value in another process?

Pdwyer and Psychophanta,
I don't think Mutex/threading will accomplish what I'm trying to do.

With the jaPBe pluggin SDK I can see which word (variable) is under the mouse pointer in the editor from my program (PB Project).

When I know the name of the variable, I should be able to get the address of the variable somehow, I'm not sure yet how to do this step.

Then when I have the address I should be able to read that memory address.

The PB debugger is obviously able to read the value of a variable at any given time.

I'm just trying to tie the ability to read a variable value to the placement of the mouse over a variable in the debugger.

As long as i know you can't. It would be an internal feature of the debugger.

I agree it would be good to have it in PB - I also miss it coming from VB myself.

PB Team,
Can this be implemented in the debugger?

It would be a great feature.

It's been requested before, but hasn't happened yet.
