Evaluate/Modify dialog box

Use the Evaluate/Modify dialog box to evaluate or change the value of an existing method, expression or property. You can evaluate any valid language expression, except those that contain static variables that are not accessible from the current execution point.

To open the Evaluate/Modify dialog box, do either of the following:

Expression

Specifies the method, variable, field, array, or object to evaluate or modify. By default, the word or any selection at the cursor position in the editor is placed in the Expression box. You can accept this expression, enter another one, or choose an expression from the history list of previously evaluated expressions.

Result

Displays the value of the item specified in the Expression box after you choose Evaluate or Modify.

New Value

Assigns a new value to the item specified in the Expression box. Enter a new value for the item if you want to change its value.

Evaluate

Evaluates the expression in the Expression box and displays its value in the Result box.

Modify

This is a feature of JBuilder Professional and Enterprise.

Changes the value of the expression in the Expression box using the value in the New Value box.
