Interface IToggleBreakpointsTarget

All Known Subinterfaces:
IToggleBreakpointsTargetExtension, IToggleBreakpointsTargetExtension2
public interface IToggleBreakpointsTarget
An adapter to support breakpoint creation/deletion for an active part or selection within an active part. The debug platform provides retargettable actions for toggling line breakpoints, method breakpoints, and watchpoints. A debug implementation can plug into the global actions by providing an adapter of this type on relevant parts and objects. The debug platform provides one command and key binding for each breakpoint operation.

When a part is activated, a retargettable action asks the part for its IToggleBreakpointTarget adapter. If one exists, that adapter is delegated to to perform breakpoint operations when the user invokes an associated action. If an adapter does not exist for the part, the retargettable actions asks selected objects in the active part for an adapter. Generally, a debug implementation will provide breakpoint adapters for relevant editors and model objects.

Clients are intended to implement this interface and provide instances as an adapter on applicable parts (for example, editors) and objects (for example, methods and fields) that support breakpoint toggling.
