Code::Blocks Forums

the watches window adds, automatic, local variables but not what i need to test. for that i nee do it manually(select the variable and then click on right button for add it to watches window).
until here fine, but see these: i have a class button with a getTop() function member.

vector<button> btnarray;
int WinMain()
{
    //int arraysize=ArraySize(btnarray, button);//geting the array size
    btnarray.resize(8);

    for (int i=0; i<btnarray.size(); i++)
    {
        int b=100 + ((i+1)*50);
        btnarray[i].setTop(b);
        //OutputDebugStr(to_string(btnarray[i].getTop()).c_str());
        btnarray[i].setLeft(0);
        btnarray[i].setText(to_string(i));
        btnarray[i].MouseClick=[i]()
        {
            MessageBox(btnarray[i].getText());
        };
    }

now heres the questions points:
- how can i add the btnarray [ i ].getTop() to watches window and see it's value?
- how can i see the string of OutputDebugStr() on debug mode?

1. Select it and wait for the popup to show up or right click -> add watch
2. This is more of a gdb question, but have you tried to enable the debug output in the settings -> debugger?

for that i must, 1st, enter\execute on debug mode. on watches window, on value section, i get 'Not available'. what means? why i can't get it's value? or is because i'm not using on code?

GDB can execute function, but I'm not sure what are the requirements. Sometimes it just fails.

BTW. I have really hard time understanding what you're talking about, please try harder to explain what you're doing.

i'm trying using the watches windows for see the btnarray.getTop() value. and send some messages, for test other values, for watches window

You have add a watch for btnarray.getTop() or btnarray and then inspect the raw values.

i did. but where is the values i get these string 'not avaiblable' or something like these

Have you read this: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Debugging_with_Code::Blocks ?
Does it work with simple local variables?

finally i get the point.
i must go to getTop() class member and test the intTop value.
thanks for all

another question: i can use OutputDebugString() function, but how can i see it's value\string?
(i'm trying, in hard way, learn more about debuging)

It should be in the log of the debugger (probably in the full log, which you have to enable in the debugger settings).
I've told you about this already.

Another option is to define it to something that prints on stdout/stderr:)

i use windows api applications. so it's there another way?

Have you checked the log?
The debugger tab in you 'logs and others' window.

i'm sorry, the string isn't printed on that tab :(
button btnarray[8];
int WinMain()
{
    int arraysize=ArraySize(btnarray, button);//geting the array size
    //btnarray.resize(8);
    int i=0;
    for (i; i<arraysize; i++)
    {
        int inttop=150 + (i*50);
        btnarray[i].setTop(inttop);
        OutputDebugStr(to_string(btnarray[i].getTop()).c_str());//i belive these string must be printed on debugger tab, right?
        btnarray[i].setLeft(0);
        btnarray[i].setText(to_string(i));
        btnarray[i].MouseClick=[i]()
        {
            MessageBox(btnarray[i].getText());
        };

Generally this is the place where you should see it.

Have you enabled full log from the debugger?

i think i did. but i don't have sure... can you tell me more about?

If you see the debug: at the beginning of the line, then you have done it.

heres what i see on debug tab:

i'm sorry, i know that i'm miss something, but i don't know what :(
i don't see the result of 'OutputDebugString("hello world");' :(

Obviously you've not enabled full logging...

Settings -> Debugger -> Common -> Full (Debug) Log...

And when pasting please use code tags (the # button above the editor).

now it's the full, but the:
OutputDebugString("hello world");
isn't showed on it :(

Then it is a GDB or MinGW progblem (don't know if outputdebugstring is a OS or runtime thing).

that's why i did my own:
void debugtext(string text)
{
    //create a permanent controls
    static form debugwindow("Debug Window");
    static label lblDebugText("",debugwindow);

    //control the static depending on it's parent size
    debugwindow.Resize=[]()
    {
        lblDebugText.setWidth(debugwindow.width-10);
        lblDebugText.setHeight(debugwindow.height-10);
    };

    //resize the parent window
    debugwindow.width=1000;
    debugwindow.height=400;

    //print the text depnding if have some text or not
    if(lblDebugText.getText()=="")
        lblDebugText.setText(text);
    else
        lblDebugText.setText(lblDebugText.getText() + "\n" + text);
}
using it:
bool blnRightMouseButtonDown=false;
button btnarray[8];

int WinMain()
{
    OutputDebugString("hello world");
    int arraysize=ArraySize(btnarray, button);//geting the array size
    int i=0;
    for (i; i<arraysize; i++)
    {
        int inttop=150 + (i*50);

        btnarray[i].setTop(inttop);
        btnarray[i].setLeft(0);
        btnarray[i].setText(to_string(i));
        btnarray[i].MouseClick=[i]()
        {
            MessageBox(btnarray[i].getText());
        };
        debugtext((string)to_string(inttop) + "\t" + to_string(i));
    }
