General guidelines to debugging a child process in the Delphi IDE.

Written for Dave Nottage and other forgetful people :-)

[10:50] Dave: ..and I want to debug the app that gets launched by the other one
[10:50] Dave: both are Delphi 5 apps
[10:50] Chee Wee: you have both the app's sources?
[10:50] Dave: yes
[10:51] Chee Wee: ok, so, what's the issue? you dunno the procedure how to do it?
[10:51] Dave: yeah.. I thought I did.. but doesnt appear to be working
[10:52] Dave: no blue dots, for one
[10:53] Chee Wee: Load both apps in the Delphi 5 IDE.
[10:53] Chee Wee: Activate the parent proj.
[10:53] Chee Wee: In project options/settings, enable debug child process.
[10:53] Chee Wee: place breakpoint in child project.
[10:54] Chee Wee: ensure both projects are compiled with debug mode.
[10:54] Chee Wee: start parent proj.
[10:54] Dave: thanks :)
[10:54] Chee Wee: that's the rough steps... you need to figure out the specific settings. I can't remember the exact names
