    debug with code and app visible

    Years ago when I programmed with Clipper I could have my running app window on screen and also steppable code visible at the same time. I cant find how to do this with Delphi 5 - any suggestions?

    You'll need to set breakpoints in your code, and use F8/F7 to step through it, or F9 to jump to the next breakpoint. Use the Run menu to start the project in debug mode (Run: Run).

    Thanks for the reply - this is the way I usually debug with Delphi but it means when the breakpoint triggers I lose the app because the code comes up and then one can only see the code page whilst stepping. Ideally I would like to have the app on top whilst stepping ( in a reduced size window to allow both the app and the code to be seen) which is how Clipper worked. I was hoping that I had missed some subtlety that would have enabled this.

    Resize your code view so your app is to the left/right of the code.
