Views information update [message #943251]

hi.
i want to ask a question about the relationship between views like variables view
and debug events.

for example: if i debug a c program how does the variables view know when to update itself?, because it seems that even when the view is close and i click 'step into'
and reopen the view, the view presents the updated information.

so this is my question,how does the variables view (for instance)know when to update itself when a debug event occurs?

thanks for the help.

VariablesView implements IDebugContextListener and as such it receives calls debugContextChanged(DebugContextEvent).
Have a look at the implementation of that method and you'll see how that relates to selection.
To see when this method is invoked I recommend the debugger Smile
