The Toolbar

The Toolbar appears beneath the menu bar (see the figure below). It provides shortcuts for menu selections.

You can hide or display the Toolbar with the Toolbar command on the View menu. When this command is checked, the Toolbar appears. When it is turned off (unchecked), the Toolbar is hidden. You turn the command on or off by selecting it.

To issue debug commands, click one of the icons on the Toolbar:

Steps into a function when it is called and steps through all of the instructions in the function. Equivalent to the Trace Into command from the Run menu.

{bmc bm103.BMP}

When a button cannot be used (for example, a trace command while the debuggee is running), the button is grayed.

Font selection is not available from the toolbar. You can change the typeface of the current source file by choosing Font from the Options menu.
