Re: [GD-Windows] Debugging multiple apps

[Brett B. \(Research\) <res...@ga...>]

I'm glad to hear this is a valid technique! I resorted to a MessageBox as 
the first line so I can attach the process before continuing.

But surely there's a way to do this properly? The doc goes on and on about 
how great solution files are because each project and the dependencies are 
known and so multi-language, multi-project debugging "is a breeze"....

I want to feel the wind in my hair!
