You might want to look at using ASSERTS. Very useful for triggering the debug process in a controlled way.

I am debugging a .BeforeRowColChange method. I want to single-step through the method to find the error. The problem is that I do not want to single-step through it unless it is the firing when the form has been selected to be closed. Single-stepping through other firings can cause my form to get messed up because the debugger can affect focus. It is critical in this case since I am debugging event firing. Here is my code: Setup (in program startup) ----- * Debugging Activation Setup private debugstepping debugstepping=.f. on key label "Ctrl-D" setdebugstepping() Procedure that sets variable ---------------------------- * setdebugstepping * Set debugstepping Variable * Last Modification: 2014-03-21 procedure setdebugstepping debugstepping=.t. clear typeahead =messagebox("debugstepping has been set to .t..",MB_OK,"DEBUGGING") return endproc Use (in .BeforeRowColChange()) --- if debugstepping set step on endif Now, I just run my program until I get to where I want to test then press Ctrl-D. The next .BeforeRowColChange() can now be single-stepped through. The other firings are not. I wish I had thought of this idea years ago. Debugging connected with event firing has been so awkward.
