<h2>Setting a Temporary Breakpoint</h2>
<p>Use the Temporary Breakpoint command to set temporary breakpoints. Unlike a regular breakpoint that halts execution each time you debug a project, a temporary breakpoint halts execution only once. The debugger removes the temporary breakpoint after halting program execution. </p>
<div class="step">
<h4>To set a temporary breakpoint at a line of source code</h4>
<ol>
<li> <a href="pgm_bp_enable.htm">Set a breakpoint</a> on the source line</li>
<li> Right-click breakpoint and select Breakpoint Properties in the context menu</li>
<p>The Properties for C/C++ breakpoint window appears (Figure 1).</p>

<li> Enter the value "1" into the Ignore count field</li>
<li> Click OK </li>
</ol>
<ul>
<p>The dash icon changes to an active breakpoint icon. After you debug the project, the debugger halts program execution at the line that has the active breakpoint icon. After execution halts, the active breakpoint icon reverts to a dash icon.
