[MACRO][VS2008] Add a "When Hit" Breakpoint with a macro

Question

Hi everyone,

I would like to add some breakpoints from my macro. I manage to do this easily thanks to the EnvDte.Breakpoint interface. But I would like to create a "When hit" breakpoint and to associate this breakpoint with a macro (to execute the macro when the breakpoint is reached).

I've not found any property/method in the objectmodel to help doing this. Do I miss something ?

Hi Patrice,

Base on my understanding, you want to subscribe to an event that is triggered when the debugger has hit a break point. If so, you can try to use  DebuggerEvents object to achieve this, the OnEnterBreakMode Event will be fired when entering  break mode. Please refer to following code snippet:

// Place the following code in the Exec method of the add-in:
EnvDTE.DebuggerEvents debugEvents = applicationObject.Events.DebuggerEvents;
debugEvents.OnEnterBreakMode += 
new _dispDebuggerEvents_OnEnterBreakModeEventHandler(DebuggerEvents.BreakHandler);

// Place the following Event handler code in the add-in:
// Needed to activate event handlers in Connect.Exec.
public static void StartEvents(DTE dte)
{
    System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Events are attached.");
}

// OnEnterBreakMode Event.
public static void BreakHandler(dbgEventReason reason, ref dbgExecutionAction execAction)
{
    System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Debugger enters break mode. " + 
                                         "Reason: " + reason.ToString());
}

 

For more information, please see this thread: SDK Package: wanting to subscribe to the c# debugger onBreakPointHit event.

If I misunderstood you, or you have any questions, please let me know.

Best Regards,
