Running a Debug Session › Use Breakpoints to Control Program Execution › Enable a Breakpoint

Enable a Breakpoint

You can enable a breakpoint in the Breakpoints view as necessary.

To enable a breakpoint, select the breakpoint, right-click, and select Enable Breakpoint from the pop-up menu. The icon associated with the breakpoint changes from a non-filled circle to a filled circle.

While the breakpoint is enabled, program execution suspends before that statement is executed. The line where the breakpoint is set is highlighted in the Debug editor. The current stack trace is displayed in the Debug view.

Note: When you add a breakpoint, it is enabled by default.
