I am debugging some code that is a loop. I would like to display
a browse at one point if singlestepping is on. How can I do this?

Checking set("step") does not do it. The output of
set step on
? set("step")
is
"OFF"!

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko

The only thing that jumps right to mind is setting a public variable when in
debug mode and checking for that. <shrug>

how about looking for the window name "debug"?

Oooh. Good idea!

Hey Gene: WEXIST("TRACE") seems to work!

Yup, after
set step on
to turn on the debugger. Oddly,
set debug on
does not work. I thought it would.

From the docs (VFP 8):

--------------------
Included for backward compatibility. Makes the Debug and Trace windows
either available or unavailable from the Visual FoxPro menu system in
versions prior to 5.0.
SET DEBUG ON | OFFParameters
ON
(Default) Makes the Debug and Trace windows either available or
unavailable from the Visual FoxPro menu system.
OFF
Makes the Debug and Trace windows unavailable from the Visual FoxPro
system menu. However, when SET DEBUG is set to OFF, you can open the Debug
window with SET ECHO ON or ACTIVATE WINDOW DEBUG, and you can open the Trace
window with SET STEP ON or ACTIVATE WINDOW TRACE.
---------------------

It appears that SET DEBUG makes the window available, but doesn't open it.

Just "DEBUG" will open the window.

Right, SET DEBUG predates (by a LOT of years) our current debugger, which
was introduced in VFP5 I think.

As Fred says, just "DEBUG" will open the debugger. (Although you can still
ACTIVATE WINDOW TRACE to open it as well.)
