Subtitles of the Movie (Real Studio / Advanced Features / Remote Debugging to Windows)
We will now use the remote debugger on Microsoft Windows. The first thing you'll need to do is download and install REAL Studio on your Microsoft Windows machine or virtual machine. After I did that, I pinned the remote debugger stub on my Windows Taskbar. You should always check the settings and make sure you give your virtual machine or machine a good name. You should also check the download location. The port connections and network interface usually can all be left at the defaults. Now let's go back to REAL Studio. We'll check our debugger preferences and click Add. Type in the name of the machine, and it's IP address. Now we can click OK. When we go to the project menu, run remotely, now list each machine that is listed in those debugger settings. We previously used Ubuntu, now let's try running it on Windows. Here the MAC IDE is compiling the Windows version ToDo and then it's going to send it to the Windows virtual machine. Here we can see ToDo running on Microsoft Windows. Let's make a quick change that will make this look a little nicer on Windows. In particular, a separator between the Toolbar and the rest of the window is fairly typical for Windows applications, so let's add that. We'll open the ToDo window and add a separator control to the window. We will call it Win Separator. We will set it to be the same size as the window itself, and lock it to the right so that it adjusts when the window is re-sized. Now let's make sure that it only appears on Windows builds. In the Open Event, we will check if we are running our Windows. We will check if we are not running on Windows, and we will hide this control. Now let's run it. Now we have a separator control. Next let's look at the actual debugger itself running across platforms. Let's go back to Realbasic and let's set a break point. We'll set it here in the save method. We know that save is called whenever you click OK on the edit window. And you can see that the application immediately switched back to the REAL Studio debugger. And now we can step through the code. This is very handy for debugging problems that are platform specific. Let's click Resume and switch back to Windows, and the application is running again.
