Break When a Variable Changes Value

You can set a breakpoint on a variable such that when it is modified the debugger halts at the line of code that has just caused the memory to be changed. When such a breakpoint occurs the code editor is displayed and the line highlighted. The log in the Debugger window also prints a statement to the effect.

The example below creates a notification on a variable from the Locals window. The item being watched is the Passengers integer member of the CTrain class.
