RE: [cdt-dev] DSF features I did not know about

   You can Drag and Drop a variable from the watch view. 

   I went back and compared our Commercial 3.2 product ( which is based
   on DSF/CDT version ) and in standard open source there is no "Watch"
   action in the open source. For our commercial product we add a "Watch"
   action to the CDT C/C++ editor. Perhaps the CDT/DSF editor should have
   a "Watch" DSF implementation, but then what about CDI. So I assume we
   just elected to do nothing and have the specific products add their own
   watch action.

Ok, I tried that from Registers and Variables and it works.
I didn't find one in the Editor though.

Oh ok.  Reading the description, I thought that values of boolean variables would trigger a drop-down of true/false.

Thanks
