Managing breakpoints in the Breakpoints view

The Breakpoints view allows you to manage breakpoints during a debugging session by removing them, disabling and enabling them, skipping them, and so on.

The following commands are available from the Breakpoints view toolbar and pop-up menu.

Command	Description
Go to File	Opens the file (if it isn't already open) that contains the breakpoint in the code editor and highlights the line of code on which the breakpoint was set. You can also simply double-click the breakpoint to display it in the code editor.
Enable	Enables the selected breakpoints.
Disable	Disables the selected breakpoints. A disabled breakpoint does not cause the execution of an application to be suspended.
Remove	Removes the selected breakpoints.
Remove All	Removes all breakpoints.
Show Breakpoints Supported by Selected Target	Displays breakpoints that are applicable to the select debug target.
Skip All Breakpoints	Skips all breakpoints.

Removing breakpoints

You can remove one, a few, or all of the breakpoints in the Breakpoints view.

To remove breakpoints in the Breakpoints view:

Select a breakpoint from the list of breakpoints, and then click Remove in the Breakpoints view toolbar.

You can also remove all the breakpoints in the Breakpoints view in a single action.

To remove all breakpoints from the Breakpoints view:

In the Breakpoints view, click Remove All in the Breakpoints view toolbar.

Disabling breakpoints

To bypass some or all of the breakpoints without removing them, you can disable them instead.

To disable breakpoints:

In the Breakpoints view, deselect the breakpoint selection box.
Select one or more breakpoints, right-click (Control-click on Macintosh) to display the pop-up menu, and select Disable.

To enable breakpoints that are disabled, select them again, or use the pop-up menu and select the Enable command.
