Will gambas ever have a debug window which will allow code execution or control property settings to be changed when a program is paused like in VB?

    You can already evaluate things in the console window.
    Modifying things is theorically possible, but I must find a
    good interface in the debugger to do it.

    However, it doesn't appear that you can evaluated expressions when paused.

    VB lets you execute code in the debugger (like a FOR loop) but you need to use colons to separate the statements (for i=1 to 10: print i: next i). This comes in handy as well. Python shells allow this as well but in a different manner. To be able to change control properties (say, Timer1.Delay=1500) in the console window would aid debugging greatly.

    Thanks for your follow-up BTW.
