# Working with properties

You can examine or change the properties of a breakpoint or a breakpoint group.

## Breakpoint properties

Breakpoint properties include the breakpoint group to which it belongs, a conditional parameter, and thread instructions.

Setting a condition for the breakpoint stops the program when the specified condition occurs at a specific statement.

You can specify whether the breakpoint applies to all threads or only the current thread.

To change breakpoint properties, complete the following steps:

1. In the Breakpoints pane or the Source window, right click the breakpoint and select Breakpoint Properties.
2. In the Breakpoint Properties dialog, change any of the available properties.
3. Click OK.

## Breakpoint groups

Breakpoint groups properties include only the name and color of the group.

To change the properties of a breakpoint group, complete the following steps:

1. In the Breakpoints pane, right-click the appropriate breakpoint group and select Breakpoint Group Properties.
2. In the Breakpoint Group Properties dialog, change any of the available properties.
3. Click OK.
