<h2>Context Menus</h2>
<p> A context menu provides a shortcut to frequently used menu commands. The available menu commands change, based on the context of the selected item. For example, the Breakpoints view uses commands that differ from the Editor view. </p>
<p>Sample uses of the context menu for different tasks include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Editor views - perform editing functions, format, compare, and a host of other file actions </li>
<li><a href="../reference/view_breakpoints.htm">Breakpoints</a> view - enable, disable, remove, or select all breakpoints</li>
<li><a href="../reference/view_debug.htm">Debug</a> view - restart, step into, over, or out of routines, terminate or suspend program execution </li>
<li><a href="../reference/view_variables.htm">Variables</a> view - enable, disable, find, and change the format or value of variables displayed</li>
<li><a href="../reference/view_memory_wnd.htm">Memory</a> view - add or remove memory monitors </li>
</ul>
<p class="note"><b>TIP</b> Experiment using the context menu in various views to discover additional capabilities.</p>
<p>Figure 1 shows a sample context menu in the Breakpoints view.</p>
