All, I'm building a console app with the most recent update of C++ Builder.
When debugging the app in C++ Builder 5, I am used to inspecting my objects by selecting Run | Inspect. For instance, I can step into a method and enter Alt-r-i and enter "this"; and I can inspect the entire object.
Although Builder6 help tells me to select Run | Inspect to inspect objects; this option is not there in C++ Builder 6.

We'll, it's there, just Run | Inspect, just above Evaluate/Modify. It's disabled when your program is running. If you've set a breakpoint and your program is halted, the option is enabled.
Then you can also inspect a variable by positioning the mouse cursor above the variable and pressing 'CTRL'-left mouse button.
In the evaluate window you can also select to inspect a variable (and you can select to watch it).
Hello All, Thanks to Wim for your reply. I checked and double checked, but "Run | Inspect" is just plain not there! The only factor I can currently think of is that I'm running the "personal edition". But it's hard to imagine that this most important of features would be removed based on edition. In Builder 5, it's just above the "Evaluate/Modify" option. Is "Run | Inspect" missing for anyone else out there? Regards, Steve

I also have this problem - the Inspect command is missing from the Run menu and the popup menu. Also my CodeGuard debug window is missing.
I am running the Pro edition of BCB6, with Update 4 applied (build no 10.166), on Windows XP with SP1. I am running exactly the same version on other XP machines and the Inspect command is present. I haven't investigated further yet - but will need to do so soon, since the malfunctioning installation is on my fastest PC.

All, Thanks to Andrew for your note. Since you're running the Pro edition, I guess that rules out an edition-specific issue. BTW, I'm also running with Update 4 on an XP machine. I have no other ideas at this time, but I'll let you know if any other evidence surfaces. Has anyone on TeamB seen this behavior? Regards, Stevew

Thanks for the suggestion - however, a Repair has no effect - the Inspect command and several Debug windows are missing. I am now attempting a complete uninstall/reinstall...
One difference between my working and non-working installations is that I have toolsFactory's ClassExplorer installed on my non-working version... are you using this also?
Ed's suggestion of a Repair did not work for me. I am now doing a complete uninstall/reinstall...

I have completely uninstalled and then reinstalled Builder 6 + Update 4 + all my other components (DevExpress, Raize, Graphics Server, TurboPower XML Pro) ... and everthing is now working properly.
A couple of hours wasted, but at least I am fully operational now <g>.

We've had this problem when installing borland as Administrator and using it as user (with admin rights). We use ClassExplorer as well.

Well, that's a pretty weird choice Borland made. Even personal developers need to debug their creations.
Hello All, I posted a query at the installation newsgroup and the mystery is solved. The Run | Inspect feature is not available in the Personal Edition. Thanks for your help with this issue. Regards, SteveW
