<h1>
Breakpoint Hit Count Option</h1>
<hr>
<p>
Select this option to define a hit count for the selected breakpoint. </p>
<p>The hit count option is used to determine when your program should suspend on that breakpoint. </p>
<p>If you define a hit count of <em>N</em>, where <em>N</em> is some integer of your choosing, and the breakpoint is hit for the <em>N</em>th time, execution will suspend on that breakpoint. After being hit the breakpoint is disabled until either it is re-enabled or its hit count is changed.<br>
<br>
This option can be changed with the <a href="../../reference/views/breakpoints/ref-properties_contextaction.htm">breakpoint properties dialog</a>, or by using the <a href="../../reference/views/breakpoints/ref-hitcount_contextaction.htm">context menu</a> for the breakpoint.</p>
