Done Tooltips should show variable value

[JimP]

When you hover your mouse over a variable, a tooltip should pop up displaying the value of the parameter.

Are you referring to the batch debugger? It already does that (provided the variable exists).

Do you mean BDEBUGGER file.btm ... hover on %varname in the editor? I don't see any tooltips.

You have to be debugging, not editing.

I still don't see any tooltips ... debugging this

echo %path
do forever
    echo %_do_loop
    delay 1
enddo

... hovering on "%path" or "%_do_loop" ... whether waiting to step or running to a (non-existent) breakpoint.

Is it possible that tooltips are turned off (the sort of thing I'd do)?

 

[vefatica]

OK, I had them turned off. Should there be two "DebuggerToolTips" in the INI file (one in [4nt] one in [Debugger])?

 

[vefatica]

P.S., They work if you're just editing (not having done "Start debugging").

They won't necessarily reflect the actual value when executing batch files.

No, there should only be one in [4nt]. And there is no [Debugger] section in TCMD.INI.

That directive isn't in the OPTION dialogs, so you had to have entered it manually.

 

[vefatica]

Hmmm! I have (admittedly a hand-me-down from way back).

[Debugger]
DebuggerToolTips=No
left=142
top=176
right=1029
bottom=738
Docked=0

 

[rconn]

It hasn't been used for years (and years).

 

[vefatica]

I said it was a hand-me down.

v:\> ffind /s /t"docked" \\zz\g$\*.ini

---- \\zz\g$\4ntv8\4nt.ini
Docked=0

... and 28 more!

 

[rconn]

Hmm - you might want to check what's at the back of your refrigerator too ...
