How do I display tooltip evaluation?

Tooltip evaluation attempts to evaluate any text that you hover your mouse pointer over in the source (Src) or disassembly (Dsm) tabbed views of the Code window. If evaluation is possible, a tooltip is displayed with the name of the object and its value.

$image\lamp.gif$ The option is enabled by default when you install RealView Debugger.

If you want to disable tooltip evaluation for a file that you have open in the Code window, deselect Advanced $image\optarrow.gif$ Tooltip Evaluation from the Code window Edit menu. The setting persists for this session only.

You can change a setting in your Workspace Options window (or Options window if you are not working with a workspace) so that tooltip evaluation is off by default:

1. Select WorkspaceWorkspace Options…from the Code window File menu to display the Workspace Options window

2. In the left pane, expand the ALL group, and click on Edit:

3. In the right pane, right-click on No tooltip:

4. Select True from the context menu to disable tooltip evaluation.
