Refresh view whlie breaking in Visual Studio debugging

Hello,

When using Visual Studio to debug FlexSim by attaching process, is it possible to refresh FlexSim views while code stops at breakpoint in Visual Studio?

For example function below, output console won't update until code in Visual Studio exits break mode. So the effect of each line of codes won't be visible in FlexSim.

void dllfunction1(FLEXSIMINTERFACE)
{
    print("A");   // breakpoint here
    print("B");
}
FlexSim 22.1.1

No. When you hit a breakpoint in Visual Studio, the program is halted on that line. FlexSim isn't running at that point. It is waiting for you to step through its code.

"Refreshing views" is executing other code. The application can't do that while you've stopped it to debug.
