How it works
Open the extension by selecting Watch Builder from the View/Other Windows menu.
The window will appear. the Add Watch button is used for adding an item to watch, the Delete All btton deletes all watch items, the Edit Defn button is used to control how an item is displayed.
The data can be displayed in several different formats: simple, box, list, grid. The simple layout just displays the data.
For the box layout the object fields are shown. The particular fields can be selected so only they are displayed.
The list layout displays some or all of the members of a collection, list, stack, etc.
The grid layout shows the data in a list with columns. This displays some or all of the members of a collection, list, stack, etc.
Create a watch definition for the desired type.
Conditional formats can be used to change the format when a certain condition is met. So, for instance, the element of a collection can be highlighted when is is being referenced by an index or reference variable.
