When I set a breakpoint and hover the mouse over variables, the information
revealed is not the actual value but information about the type of variable
such as the size of an array. I can see simple scalar values such as indices,
but geneally have to write the data to a listbox to see what array(i)
actually has in it at location i. Is this normal?
 
Chris,

The right click will give you a lot of possibilities where I use mostly the
Quick View.

Beside of that is (when you are in debugging mode) a lot of other "windows"
for your possision by clicking on Debug in top of your program.

I hope this helps,

Cor

Thanks, Cor

I tried a right click and added a "watch" that I was stuck with until I had
completed the project. There seemed to be no provision for removing it. There
does seem to be a ton of options but does it seem to you that some basic
things ought to be default, like "just show me what a(i) contains". I don't
care about, or already know, how many elements or their type.
 
Chris,

Set a breakpoint and than you can do from all what is in scope do a
"QuickView"
