822.0. "struct/union types in monitor window needs improvement" by CXXC::MJHANS (Matthew Hanselman, DEC C) Mon Feb 10 1997 17:11

In dxladebug 4.0-30:

Whether something is expanded or not is a simple toggle, no?  Why do I have the
option of expanding an expanded variable (or collapsing a collapsed variable)
when I right-click on its value?

Why doesn't a struct/union monitor entry have a Microsoft-like +/- next to it,
immediately telling me whether or not I have an expandable type?

	That's a good suggestion. I believe gui right now doesn't cache any type information for those variables. As part of support for C++ dynamic type in gui in the upcoming base levels, we thought about to cache those information to avoid unnecessary performance overhead. It sounds like we can use it to tell the user whether it's expandable or not. Wanfang
