Hi Pamela,
>I don't remember ever being able to scroll through the contents of the *value* I can scroll through and edit the watch variable itself, but not the value. I can, however, rest my mouse on the value when it is truncated and get a tooltip window that displays the entire value.
I went back to VFP 6.0 and tested a couple of things. It turns out that VFP 7.0 is behaving the same way as VFP 6 with regard to the scrolling of the value in the watch window.
Here's what I learned.
If I have a character variable that I want to watch, I simply place the variable into the Watch window. Let's say my variable was lcMyVar. And the length was 400 characters. The problem is that I can't stretch the value portion of the window wide enough to see the whole string. And using the mouse to display the value (like a tool-tip) won't display the whole string either.
But I can click into the value portion of the Watch window and scroll left to right to see the entire contents of the string ... no problem.
What I was doing this morning in VFP 7.0 was using a property of an object, like oTest.MyProperty
This value of oTest.MyProperty displays in the Watch window but it won't let you click on it for scrolling like it will when you use a regular variable. I went back and checked this out and VFP 6.0 behaves the same way with properties of an object.
So there's no change here.
But I'm still puzzled on the Run to cursor problem.
Guy
