Interface IWatchExpressionFactoryAdapter
- All Known Subinterfaces:
IWatchExpressionFactoryAdapterExtension
public interface IWatchExpressionFactoryAdapter
An optional adapter used to create a watch expression for a selected variable.
The 'Create Watch Expression' action is enabled for instances of
IVariable that have an associated
IWatchExpressionDelegate registered
for that debug model.
When a watch expression factory adapter is available for a variable, the factory is
consulted to create a watch expression for that variable. When no adapter is provided,
the watch expression is generated based on the variable's name.
Also see the optional interface IWatchExpressionFactoryAdapterExtension.
