Continue executes from the statement that has the text cursor and continues executing without stopping. Stop stops execution and places the cursor on the next statement to be executed, if an event was being processed. If no event is executing when Stop is invoked, the text cursor in the code window is hidden. The text cursor here serves dual roles for editing and program control. Each line of program code may be independently marked as a breakpoint or a tracepoint.
Execution stops at breakpoints.
Execution pauses momentarily at tracepoints. Before execution continues, the statement about to be executed highlights, and the data window updates.
