Hi,
Why can I not set or change the property Styles of a watch item? See attached image. All the styles are disable and 'default' seems to be set. What I am trying to watch is a record structure, but I can't simply watch "pTOCEntry^" and set the style to "record".

So the workaround is to dereference each property - unfortunaly some of the record structures are huge, so it's not feasable (waist of time).

In the attached screenshot I am trying to add a new Watch entry and would like to have Style set to Record/Structure, but I can't.

I'm using latest "fixes" branch v0.9.28 with GTK2 or Ubuntu 9.04 (64bit).

Regards,
- Graeme -

Since it is not implemented. I created the basics and hoped that some users would provide patches to complete it.

Ah, I didn't know that. I simply thought some condition wasn't met, hence the options got disabled at runtime by the IDE.

Tip:
Maybe tooltips should be added over such cases in the IDE - saying "not implemented yet". Otherwise users (including myself) will not know why the controls are disabled.

At that time there were no tooltips ;-)
