Hi Jujia.
I suggest going to your DLL project, and simply specifying the IDLDE
executable. It will start up a new instance of the IDLDE when you
select run. You can then call the functions in your DLL from the IDLDE
and debug them.
There is also a much dirtier method involving the use of a function like
inline int pause_IDL(void)
{
IDL_Message(IDL_M_NAMED_GENERIC, IDL_MSG_RET, "press any key...");
return(IDL_GetKbrd(1));
}
in your DLL code and attaching your debugger to the IDLDE process while
it's waiting for a key press from the keyboard.
Best,
Rich

How to specifying the IDLDE executable?

Do you mean you pause IDL for a while? But I think in this case all
you can debug and monitor is the variables in IDL not in C program. Am
I right? So how can I monitor C variable in this case?
How to attatch debugger to the IDLDE process?
I appreciate your help and look forward to your further explanation.
Regards,
Julia Jin
