Variables in debugger - cahlucas - 06-05-2020 10:16 PM

Hi all,
In the built-in debugger, there is a section at the bottom to make the variables visible while running the program step by step. But when I do that I don't see anything in this part of the screen. The part remains empty, and I don't see the contents of the variables. The problem occurs with every program, not specifically with a single random program. What am I doing wrong, or what can be done about this? Sincerely, Karel.

Click the blank area under "Variable", on the left side. That box will highlight. Then type the name of a variable and press Enter. Its name will be added to the list of followed variables.

Dear Mr. Horn,
Yes, that worked! Now I can see what happens to my variables in my program.
Thank you very much for the help provided. Sincerely, Karel.
