11 The Watched Expressions Window</h1>
12 <p>The watched expressions window is opened using <i>View|Watched Expressions</i>.
13 It displays arbitrary expressions.</p>
14 <p>To add an expression, type it into the edit field and press Enter or
15 click <i>Add</i>. To remove an expression, click on it (choose the root
16 of the expression) and click <i>Del</i>.</p>
17 <p>You can also move a variable or structure member from the <a href="localvars.html">local
18 variables window</a> to this window using the context menu in the local
19 variables window.</p>
20 <p>The values of most expressions can be changed. For this purpose, press F2
21 while the input focus is in the window. Then edit the value and hit Enter.
22 Note that you cannot modify the strings that <tt>char*</tt> values point
23 to in this way, just the pointer value.</p>
24 <p>Watched expressions are stored across debugging sessions. It is recommended
25 that you remove expressions that your don't need any longer because that
26 speeds up the debugging process.</p>
