Debugger Status

In the Modern and Emulate looks, the status bar at the bottom of the window shows the state of the debug process while debugging, for example Running, Paused, or Exception, followed by the file, line, and function where it is stopped. Hover the mouse over the state to display expanded debugger status information, including the process ID, in a tool tip. Clicking on the state displays a menu for continuing, pausing, or stopping the debug process.

In the Classic look, the debugger status indicator in the lower left of editor windows displays the state of the debugger. The color of the bug icon summarizes the status of the debug process, as follows:

White -- There is no debug process, but Wing is listening for a connection from an externally launched process.
Gray -- There is no debug process and Wing is not allowing any external process to attach.
Green -- The debug process is running.
Yellow -- The debug process is paused or stopped at a breakpoint.
Red -- The debug process is stopped at an exception.

These colors may vary with customization of the user interface. Hover the mouse over the bug icon to display expanded debugger status information in a tool tip. Clicking on the icon displays a menu for controlling the debug process.

The status of the debugger is also reflected in the toolbar, which adds items while a debug process is active.
