Executing a flowchart

A flowchart may be executed using the Run Menu/Execute option or the toolbar.  The symbol being executed is highlighted in green.  Any variables changed by the execution of a symbol are highlighted in red in the Watch window.

 

Step executes through one shape in a flowchart.  Pressing F10 will also execute the current shape.

 

Execute to Completion runs the entire program until it terminates.

 

Reset halts program execution and clears the value of all variables in preparation for a subsequent execution.

 

Reset/Execute halts program execution, clears the value of all variables, and restarts execution from the beginning.  Pressing F5 will also perform this function.

 

Pause temporarily halts the execution of a program until execution is resumed by the user.

 

Speed Slider sets the speed of program execution. When the slider is entirely to the right (maximum speed), the Watch Window is not updated and flowchart symbols are not highlighted during execution.
