Solved: Re: Observation: If ONLY used in subroutine then variables will NOT display in DEBUG - Page 2

I was having issues with being able to view variables in Debug in VS 2022 v 2026 in certain subroutines

and couldn't figure out why?

did the ole 'all CAPS' but didn't fix it...

and then i noticed/discovered that

in VS 2022/2026

IF you use ONLY to specify the ONLY variables in a MOD used in a subroutine

then in DEBUG

VS will NOT display the variable value and in Watch window is will say undefined!

Once i commented out all ONLY specifications

Then ALL variables used in the subroutine reveal their values!

strange?

Or is this the appropriate behavior with 2026/2022

With update out and some folks saying things not working and since i started this topic

I tested (why not gamble, eh?!)

DEBUG WATCH/CHECK VARIABLE VALUES WORK

Test run on my win10 computer (so expect all will work on my win11 computer too which i will check later or tomorrow)

A right mouse hover over a variable produces variable value if Module without USE statement

Module name::Variable lists value in watch window for Modules with USE statement

BRAVO!

Great work INTEL!
