[wish] better display value of variable of type class in debugmode in tooltiptext

[Eduard]

Hi,

When you pause the execution of an app in debugmode, it is possible to see the value of a variable by putting the mouse cursor in B4A above the variable. Then a tooltip text appears with the value.

Very handy!

But: if the variable is of type class, then this tooltip text begins with the names of all code modules and activities. On a large project, this means it is not visible to see the value of the variables of the class anymore.

Can this be fixed?

I second that!
Also, can't we get the option of being able to copy the value of a variable to the clipboard (I know we can log the value and then copy it from the log screen but it would be MUCH nicer and quicker if we could copy it directly from the "tool tip")!!!

I completely agree. The debugger will be improved in one of the next updates.

I wish to see the type or the value: there is no difference between an numeric value and and numeric value in an string, maybe you could use different tooltip colours for each datatypes.

Maybe also add an evaluator to the debugger where the developer can evaluate variables, classes' vars and properties

YES, while B4A is a great development tool, it's development time is exaggerated due to the lack of key debugging features. Please keep the improvements coming!
