Re: Suppressing watch breakpoint popup

Perhaps in your case it isn't useful. However, there are many times when
I'm in a program and have set a watch breakpoint and several other
breakpoints--sometimes even other watch breakpoints. I've found the
dialog to be helpful in these cases--I immediately know exactly why the
program stopped. There are times when my monitor view has too many
fields/variables being monitored to immediately see the watch which
triggered the break. Also, I work with some other developers who are
challenged enough by WDSC that it just might put them over the edge if the
dialog were gone. Maybe an option to suppress the dialog in specific
cases would make sense. Personally, I would rather see the development
efforts put into other areas of the product.

Just my 2-cents worth.

Jeff,

Makes you wonder what they were thinking when they designed the
thing, doesn't it? At least in WDSCi it's just a totally useless
pop-up with an OK button.

IBM, are you listening?
