The Value tab enables you to view the value of a discrete entity without adding a watch. The following figure shows the Value tab.

Figure 1. Dataview dialog box with Value tab


Note: You access some system handle dataviews from the Data menu. These include the LOG-MANAGER, SESSION, and ERROR-STATUS system handles.

To view an entity:

  1. Enter an entity name in the edit box. You can specify the following entities:
    • Variables
    • Attributes
    • Fields
    • Handles
    • Data members
    • Properties

    You can enter expressions in colon syntax for attributes and properties (for example, myWindow:TITLE or myVariable:property1).

  2. Click the View button. The entity’s value appears in the Value tab.

You can modify the value of the entity. Double-click on the value to make it editable. Enter a different value and press the ENTER key. Pressing the ESC key when editing a value restores the current value and cancels the editing operation.
