  2. In the Properties for C/C++ Breakpoint dialog box, click Actions.
    Actions page in Breakpoint Properties Dialog Box
  3. In the Available actions list:
    • Select an action and click Attach to link it to the breakpoint. Repeat as required.
    • To add a new breakpoint action, click New.
    • To edit the selected breakpoint action, click Edit.
    • To delete the selected action, click Delete.

      NOTE: Deleting a breakpoint action removes it from the workspace.
