4.7.3 Debug page

The Project > Settings... dialog's Debug page allows you to specify a command line with which to execute the project target, and the start function for the project.

The command line facility is especially useful for testing console applications from within the development environment. If there are values in the Command Line section of this dialog when you run a project target with Project > Start (and similar commands), Functional Developer uses them to execute the application. It creates a new process from the executable named in the Executable field and passes it the arguments from the Arguments field. Thus the values in these fields should form a valid MS-DOS command line when concatenated.

See "The project start function" on page 76 for details of the start function.

Another use of the Command Line section is to arrange to test and debug DLLs and OLE components. See Section 6.5 on page 106 for a description of these debugging techniques.
