| <H1>The Local Variables Window</H1> |
| <H2>Overview</H2> |
| <p>The Local Variables Window displays all local variables in scope. It may be used to |
| visualize and edit local variables. To open the Local Variables window, click on |
| small house icon on the toolbar, or select "Local Variables" under the View |
| pulldown menu.</p> |
| |
| <H3>Locals Display</H3> |
| |
| <p>Pointers, structures, and classes appear in the display with small expansion |
| box before their names. To dereference pointers or |
| view the members of classes or structures, click |
| the closed expansion box (which appears as a small plus sign, "+") to "expand" |
| the listing. The expansion box changes to a minus sign, "-", indicating that the |
| display is now open. Pointers, structures and classes may be expanded recursively |
| to allow multiple pointer dereferences and embedded structure viewing.</p> |
| |
| <P>The Locals Display updates after every execution of the program and highlights |
| in green those variables whose values have changed.</P> |
| |
| <P>The Locals Window will, by default, display all pointers in hexadecimal and all |
| other variables in decimal. To change the display format for a variable, select |
| the Format option from the popup-menu.</P> |
| |
| <H3>Editing a Variable</H3> |
| <p>To edit a variable, either double-click the left mouse button on the value of the variable in |
| the display or select the Edit option from the pop-up menu. To abort editing a variable's value, |
| simply press the escape key on the keyboard. The variable's original value is restored.</p> |
| |
| <H3>Local Variable Pop-up Menu</H3> |
| <p>The pop-up menu provides quick access to the functions of the Local Variables Window. |
| To use the pop-up menu, click the right mouse button while over a variable.</p> |
