    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    The information in this article applies to:

     - The Visual Workbench Integrated Debugger included with:
       Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.5, and 1.51
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    SYMPTOMS
    ========

    When trying to expand a reference to an object in the watch or locals
    window of the Visual Workbench or CodeView, the expansion may consist
    of only a blank line.

    RESOLUTION
    ==========

    To work around the problem, cast the reference (in the watch window)
    as a pointer to the class. For example, if you are trying to expand
    a reference defined as "CRect &rect", place a watch on the expression
    "(CRect*)rect" (without the quotes). The debugger should be able to
    expand this expression.

    STATUS
    ======

    Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the products listed at the
    beginning of this article. This problem was correct in Visual C++ for
    Windows, version 1.52.
