| Latest version: |
1.1 |
| Description: |
Expression evaluator for the std::string class and std::string collections, string vectors, string lists, including their iterators.
The use of std::string, and particularly collections of std::string's in Visual C++ is somewhat spoiled by inconveniences during debugging sessions. There is no simple way to view the content of the string in Visual Studio 2002, and to view the content of collection of strings in any version of Visual Studio to date.
FeinEvaluatorPro also evaluates window's styles: common window styles (WS_...), extended styles (WS_EX_...) and specific styles for Windows Common Controls (CListCtrl, CTreeCtrl, CEdit, CButton, CStatic, CListBox, CComboBox and CDateTimeCtrl).
Two versions are available: FeinEvaluatorPro and FeinEvaluator "lite" (free). |
