variable view memory limit

[Wolfgang]

Hi,

I am wondering about the maximum variable size for display in the variable window...

I have dynamically allocated a structure of about 5000 elements (consisting of a few double arrays) and when clicking on the '+' item in the variable manager I receive the message 'item is too large to expand'.

This message is not welcome, obviously. Why can't one display the first say 20 elements and permit scrolling through the array? I never need to see all 5000 elements simultaneously, due to limited brain and screen capacity, but right now debugging is not possible at all...

Is there a trick to bypass this limitation?

Thanks!

Hi,

I think your stucture is too large for the memory of the watch window. Maybe, when your array is not too large, there is a chance to create a pointer to your array und then you can display your array only.

I believe thats the only way how can it work.
