Title: How to copy the value of a watch?
Post by: DanRR on September 17, 2009, 09:12:08 am

Hi,
I'm using CB svn 5731.
I need to copy long watch strings, but I didn't found out how to do that.
Sadly, Chang variable's value dialog is started with an empty edit box, and not
as one may expects, with the current watch value.
Thanks.

Perhaps you can enable  under setting->debugger&compiler->debugger setting
the item <evaluate expression under cursor>

then depending on the string you are using, when you go over your string there must be an output under the editor named debugger or debugger(debug) there you can copy and paste or something like that

Thanks LordCB!
I enabled and <Display debugger's log> in addition to <Evaluate expression under cursor>
and now I can copy variables content, nice!
