When you disable a breakpoint, it remains in the Breakpoints view. To have your routine stop on a breakpoint that you have disabled, select and enable it. The advantage of disabling a breakpoint instead of deleting it is that you do not have to find the location in the source to set the breakpoint again. In addition, a disabled breakpoint saves any extra settings that you might have made to the breakpoint.
There are two indicators to the left of a set breakpoint. To the far left is a check box which indicates if the breakpoint is enabled. Enabled breakpoints are indicated with a check mark in this check box, while disabled breakpoints are indicated with no check mark in the check box. When a breakpoint is disabled, you can choose Enable from its pop-up menu in the Breakpoints view or editor, and the Disable menu item is not available. When a breakpoint is enabled, you can choose Disable from its pop-up menu and not Enable.
To enable or disable a single breakpoint from the Breakpoints view:
You can also disable all breakpoints. To disable all breakpoints,
click the Skip All Breakpoints toggle button
(). This will temporarily disable all breakpoints. To re-enable
all breakpoints (except those that you had specifically disabled with
the Disable Breakpoint action), click the Skip
All Breakpoints toggle again to cancel it.
