Programmatically add a watch expression to the debug watch window
A user may want to add a particular variable or expression to the Visual Foxpro debug watch window
Here’s some code to do it.
The debugger can read/write a particular debug config file. The default is stored in the fox resource file. Or you can choose File->Save Configuration to save various configurations.
Try saving a config file and examining it to see the various options available.
This code assumes that you already have a FOXUSER record for WATCHEXPR.
