## Enabling an Eventpoint

Enable an eventpoint to have it perform its specified action during program execution. Enabling an eventpoint that you previously disabled is easier than clearing it and re-creating it from scratch.

1. Select the eventpoint that you want to enable

Select the eventpoint by name in the Breakpoints view, or click the cursor on the source-code line that contains the eventpoint.

2. Click Debug > Enable Eventpoint

The Enable Eventpoint menu appears.

3. From the menu, click the Enable Eventpoint command, where Eventpoint is the type of eventpoint that you want to enable
4. The disabled eventpoint icon changes to its original eventpoint icon. The enabled eventpoint icon indicates that the eventpoint will perform its specified action.
