Debugging more than one process

[Alon Marx]

Hi all,

I am having a problem running Visual C++ 6.0, when debugging more than one process.

From within the visual studio, I am running an application that creates another process (the parameters are found in

the attached code). My problem is that I am unable to debug the newly created process.

From what I understand the debugger is capable of debugging more than one process, but I haven't found what the problem

is.

Any one knows how to solve this problem?

Thanks,

Alon

Start a second instance of the VC environment. In that second instance, open the project

that contains the second executable. In the debug settings, set that project to be called

by the calling project.
