Exception Breakpoint Suspend on Subclass Option </h1>
<hr>
<p>
Select this option to suspend execution when the exception is a subclass of the type of exception the original breakpoint was created for.</p>
<p>For example:<br>
If we create an exception breakpoint that will suspend on all uncaught RuntimeExceptions, <em>and</em> we have suspend on subclasses selected, the breakpoint suspend for any subclass of the type RuntimeException, like for example a NullPointerException. </p>
<p>This option can bechanged with the <a href="../../reference/views/breakpoints/ref-properties_contextaction.htm">breakpoint properties dialog</a>, as shown below.</p>
