Is it possible to set a breakpoint on a specific variable when it changes the value?
Thanks.

Yes,
For example:
- Start debugger with 'CallDeugger'
- Goto menu Debugger and add 'Data Breakpoints'
--- Condition: var <> 0
- Continue
Code: Select all
Global i, var
CallDebugger
For i = 1 To 100
If i = 10
var = 1
EndIf
Next

I've been using PureBasic since 2004, but I saw this feature for the first time today.
Good to know, thanks.

Another fantastic debugging feature is the Watchlist. This is a window that shows real-time updates of any variables that you nominate, so you can see them as they change without needing to use the Debug() command everywhere.

I use Watchlist all the time. But in my case I would have to press F8/F11... to many times because I am not sure when change happens.
Thanks.
