How Can I Use Debugger Windows While Debugging a Foreground Program?

Problem Description

I am trying to debug a screen-painting problem. To observe this problem, I have to keep my program in the foreground, which means I do not have access to the debugging windows. What can I do?

Solution

If you have a second computer, you can use remote debugging. With a two-computer setup, you can watch the screen painting on the remote computer while you operate the debugger on the host. For more information on remote debugging, see Setting Up Remote Debugging.
