Debugger enhancement

[Oleg]

Dear developers!
It would be great if Xailer debugger can evaluate expressions and show their
results
(like in Clipper CLD - Watchpoint in Watch window or ? in Command window).
For example, I stop the program on some breakpoint and then I enter some
expression
in the context and see results. I really miss this feature
Maybe this feature already exists and I simply do not know about it.
Thank you.
Oleg.

It's quite difficult. If you include a local variable in the expression, to
evaluate it correctly it should be done in the same scope you are debugging,
instead of in the debugger itself. This is the main problem. However, we'll
try to find a way to do it.

Thank you. It would be great if you will be able to do it. I'll wait.
