View - Panes - Variables

The Variables pane is enabled when the Manifold Debugger is installed.

The Variables pane shows the value of variables within scripts as they are executed together with information about the context in which those variables appear. It may also be used to change the value of variables for debugging purposes. Variables are shown within a hierarchical tree diagram.

$images\btn_variables_show_type.gif$	Show Type - Press in to show the type of the variable.
$images\btn_variables_show_common.gif$	Show Common Properties - Press in to show the Application and Parent properties that are common to all Manifold objects. Also controls the display of the Item and _NewEnum properties normally found in collections.

For example, suppose we've stopped execution in a script called A at a breakpoint where another script is run.

With both Show buttons pressed in, the Variables pane will report the following values:

Note that for either of the top hierchical levels (components or anotherScript) we can expand the hierarchy to see the Application and Parent properties, to expand those properties and so on.
