Variables view problems [message #1438237]

I was following the guide online and during the debugging section it says "In the Variables view, right-click the input variable, and select Change Value... and type 'm' between the single quotes and hit OK" ....

I right click but there is no option to change value. Am I missing something? It's not even grayed out.

Appreciate the help. Thank you.

So I've been messing around with eclipse and just going through the guide to familiarize myself with eclipse and I came across something that has me scratching my head. I'm new to programming but I feel this is not that.

I was in the final stages of debugging the program in this guide.

http://help.eclipse.org/luna/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.cdt.doc.user%2Fconcepts%2Fcdt_o_home.htm

and it says "In the Variables view, right-click the input variable, and select Change Value... and type 'm' between the single quotes and hit OK" ...

I did that and there is no option to change value. I can copy variables but there is no option to change value... not even grayed out.

Any ideas?

Appreciate the help.

The documentation is incorrect. There is no such menu item (I don't remember if it ever existed). You can just double click the value in the Variables View and then you can change it.

Before you ask
- search this forum
- see the FAQ http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/FAQ

Thank you for the reply. I thought I might be going crazy. I did try to change it that way and it just resets it to the original variable. I'll keep plugging away at it, just would be nice for that aspect to work. Thanks again.
