debugging exe's inside a frame

Prasanna #1 / 7	debugging exe's inside a frame Hi, What is the procedure for debugging an exe that gets launched inside a frame (container). The frame is also an exe. I am not able to launch the exe without the frame. Thanks, Prasanna R

You could add a DebugBreak statement in the intialisation code of your spawned program. That will let you attach the de{filter} to it. Dave -- MVP VC++ FAQ: http://www.--*.com/

Prasanna #3 / 7	debugging exe's inside a frame Thanks for your reply, but the exe that is launched inside the frame acts like a seperate exe and keeping a break point in the frame exe does not lead me to the exe in the container.

I think you've got the wrong end of the stick. I'm not talking about a breakpoint. Modify the source code of the spawned application (the one you need to debug) and put a DebugBreak() statement in its initialisation. Dave -- MVP VC++ FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/vcfaq

Prasanna #5 / 7	debugging exe's inside a frame Thanks Dave, But even that does not work. Can you give me any other way of doing this?

You might want to try DebugBreak on a simple test project first to see what it does without any complications introduced by your situation. It should allow you to invoke the de{filter} on the application when it hits the DebugBreak statement. Dave -- MVP VC++ FAQ: http://www.--*.com/

Prasanna #7 / 7	debugging exe's inside a frame Hi Dave, Thanks for your support. Ultimately we figured out how to attach the process to the frame and we succeded debugging the code.
