LPCXpresso 5.2.6

Debug perspective
I highlight a global variable
RUN->Toggle Watchpoint is grayed out.
How can I enable it?

I posted this yesterday and today it wasn't there so I am re-posting.

You obviously didn't look very hard. I can see it currently in the list of LPCXpresso forum posts, about 6 threads away from this one!

Anyway, I've not tried watchpoints in LPCXpresso recently, but the obvious first thing to try is to make sure that you have highlighted a global variable or address before trying to set the watchpoint.

HTH!

I found that if I highlight the variable where it is defined, the watchpoint works.
If I highlight it in the code, it does not.
Now I have a bigger problem.
I can't disable it.
I tried un-checking the write and enable boxes in the toggle watchpoint box.
I tried un-checking it in the breakpoint list.
I deleted it from the breakpoint list.
I allways keep breaking on it.
Please HELP!

I am sorry for the problems you are having with watchpoints.

We have been able to reproduce the problem. It only happens if you have a breakpoint and a watchpoint set at the same time, and you try to remove the watchpoint. As a workaround, until we can provide a fix, you could use watchpoints without breakpoints.
