| Enabling and disabling breakpoints |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| Breakpoints can be enabled and disabled as needed. When a breakpoint is enabled, thread execution suspends before that line of code is executed. |
| When a breakpoint is disabled, thread execution is not suspended by the |
| presence of the breakpoint. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> To disable a breakpoint in the <strong><a href="../reference/views/breakpoints/ref-breakpoints_view.htm">Breakpoints View</a></strong>: </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> Open the breakpoint's context menu and select <strong><a href="../reference/views/breakpoints/ref-disable_contextaction.htm">Disable</a></strong>, |
| or deselect the breakpoint's checkbox.</li> |
| <li> The breakpoint image will change to a white circle and its checkbox will |
| be empty.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>To disable a breakpoint in the marker bar of an editor: </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> Open the breakpoint's context menu and select <strong>Disable Breakpoint</strong>.</li> |
| <li> The breakpoint image will change to a white circle.</li> |
| </ol> |
