# Attaching or removing breakpoint actions

You can attach one or more breakpoint actions to a single breakpoint. For example, when the breakpoint is hit you could both log a message and play a sound. Actions are executed in the order they appear in the Actions for this breakpoint list.

To attach or remove a breakpoint action from a breakpoint:

1. In the Breakpoints view, right-click the breakpoint, and select Properties.
2. In the Properties for C/C++ Breakpoint dialog box, click Actions.
3. In the Available actions list:
   - Select an action and click Attach to link it to the breakpoint. Repeat as required.
   - To add a new breakpoint action, click New.
   - To edit the selected breakpoint action, click Edit.
   - To delete the selected action, click Delete.

     NOTE: Deleting a breakpoint action removes it from the workspace.

4. In the Actions for this breakpoint list you can:
   - Click Remove to delete the selected action from the list.
   - Click Up to move the selected action up in the list.
   - Click Down to move the selected action down in the list.
5. Click OK.
