Property Value

Type: System::Boolean

true if hexadecimal format, otherwise false.

Use HexInputMode to determine or set whether expressions are evaluated in hexadecimal or decimal format. HexInputMode directly corresponds to the setting in the General, Debugging, Options Dialog Box.

See Expressions in the Debugger for more information.

The following example demonstrates how to use the HexInputMode property.

C#
Copy 
public static void HexInputMode(DTE dte)
{
    // Setup the debug Output window.
    Window w = (Window)dte.Windows.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsWindowKindOutput);
    w.Visible = true;
    OutputWindow ow = (OutputWindow)w.Object;
    OutputWindowPane owp = ow.OutputWindowPanes.Add("Hex Input Mode Test");
    owp.Activate();

    dte.Debugger.HexInputMode = false;
    dte.Debugger.HexDisplayMode = true;
    EnvDTE.Expression exp = dte.Debugger.GetExpression("length", true, 1);
    owp.OutputString("Value of variable length in hex: " + exp.Value);

    dte.Debugger.HexInputMode = true;
    dte.Debugger.HexDisplayMode = false;
    exp = dte.Debugger.GetExpression("length", true, 1);
    owp.OutputString("\nValue of variable length in decimal: " + exp.Value);
}
