Did you know… You can use Breakpoint Filters to break the right process - #273

  • Article

Conditional breakpoints are for breaking at the expression level, when a particular condition is true, like x=5.  But what if you have multiple instances of the same app running?  How do you set to break the instance you want?

The answer is Breakpoint Filters.

Go to Tools – Options – Debugging – General, and there you’ll see the option to enable breakpoint filters.

Set a Breaking and Right-click to bring up the context menu.

Then in the Filter dialog box, you can specify when to break, for example, per PID (process ID).

and now you can verify the breakpoint filter in the Breakpoints window.

    Skip Valentine: I think you could accomplish that by setting a DATA breakpoint (at the address of soldQuantity, say 0x12345678), and assigning a condition to it (say, ((INT*)0x12345678) == -5 ). At least i know these are available for VC++.  don't know much about VB though.
