Re: Suppressing watch breakpoint popup

[MichaelQuigley@xxxxxxxxxx]

Perhaps in your case it isn't useful.  However, there are many times when 
I'm in a program and have set a watch breakpoint and several other 
breakpoints--sometimes even other watch breakpoints.  I've found the 
dialog to be helpful in these cases--I immediately know exactly why the 
program stopped.  There are times when my monitor view has too many 
fields/variables being monitored to immediately see the watch which 
triggered the break.  Also, I work with some other developers who are 
challenged enough by WDSC that it just might put them over the edge if the 
dialog were gone.  Maybe an option to suppress the dialog in specific 
cases would make sense.  Personally, I would rather see the development 
efforts put into other areas of the product.

Just my 2-cents worth.
