In addition to the standard way of displaying a value, an alternate is available. The definition of the alternate depends on the type of item displayed. For example, an integer is also displayed in hex, a field with an enum type is also displayed in decimal. Character pointers, which are normally displayed as a string, will be displayed as a character array. Other pointers have no alternate display type.
Opens a Memory View window for interactively displaying and modifying memory contents. This window initially displays memory at the address specified. See memview.
Displays pointer and address types as an array. If the displayed item is already an array, this will increase the size of the array displayed. This will also be executed by a mouse right-click on the type field of the data explorer window. Note: character pointer types (in C and C++) must be in "view alternate" mode to be viewed as an array, see View Alternate above.
