Name

ExceptionClass Variable

Syntax

var ExceptionClass: TClass;

Description

Delphi’s IDE uses the ExceptionClass variable to determine which exceptions the debugger handles. The IDE’s integrated debugger stops only for exceptions that inherit from the base class stored in ExceptionClass. The SysUtils unit sets this variable to Exception.

Tips and Tricks

Delphi’s IDE lets you control whether the debugger gains control when the program raises an exception. You can also control this behavior from within your program by setting ExceptionClass. In particular, setting the variable to nil prevents the debugger from stopping for any exception.
