dev_update_pc — Switches the update of the PC during program execution on or off.
dev_update_pc( : : DisplayMode : )
dev_update_pc specifies the behavior of the PC
during program execution.
If DisplayMode is set to 'on', which is the default,
within the selected procedure the PC is always displayed left to the
currently executed operator.
In addition the program text is scrolled---if necessary---so that
the current operator is visible.
If the mode is 'off' the PC is not visible during program execution and the program text will not be scrolled automatically. When the program stops the PC becomes visible again and the listing is scrolled to the current PC position.
For measuring the execution time of a sequence of operators all
update options should be switched off in order to reduce the
influence of the runtime of GUI updates in HDevelop.
For this the operators dev_update_pc, dev_update_time,
dev_update_var, and dev_update_window or the
procedures dev_update_on and dev_update_off
can be used.
This option can also be controlled via the Preferences dialog:
Edit -> Preferences
-> Runtime Settings
-> Update Program Counter.
This operator is not supported for code export.
