Support for viewing variables in hex/bin mode when debugging

[AlexanderNarbekov]

VSC has this support since version 1.50: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_49#_contributable-context-menu-for-variables-view https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/28025#issuecomment-722687806 But does the extension support it?( It doesn't work out of the box for me.)

The extension does not contribute to the "debug/variables/context" yet.

I have marked this as a feature request. Thank you for letting us know it is available.

We will need to add

"contributes": {
    "menus": {
      "debug/variables/context": [
        {
          "command": "cpptools.<COMMAND>",
          "when": "debugConfigurationType == 'cppdbg'
        }
      ]
    }
  }

to our launch.json and implement the new <COMMAND>

hi，any update for this

[heartacker]

hi，that is great to have this feature when debuging

Is this still not possible? Doing it one by one in the watch window is painful, especially when the values are deep inside structs.

Normal VisualStudio has had this feature for eons

Having this feature available would be so useful.

Make it happen, please!

Being able to view a byte array as a list of hex values and not useless decimals would be great 😊

Make it happen, please!

Please implement it. Who even uses octal in this day and age?
