Drag-and-Drop Operations

The debugger user interface supports drag-and-drop operations. The result of a drag-and-drop operation depends, in part, on the location of the drop.

For example, you can drag a variable from the Variables window to the Watch window. This action puts the variable information into the Watch window, where it is updated each time that the Watch window is updated. If you drag the variable to a text window instead, the variable information is converted into text. If you drag the variable to the Memory window or the Disassembly window, the variable is used as a pointer, and the window scrolls to display the memory contents or instructions at the indicated address.

If you expand an object in the Variables window, you can drag a member of that object to the Watch window.
