While stopped at a breakpoint, can I get the output of
TObject.ToString?

I'd like to set overrides for TObject.ToString on my objects that
would help me during debugging, but I'm not sure if there is any way
to actually view what would be output without stopping, putting in
code to print the output of ToString, then recompiling.  Is there a
way to do this?

Unfortunately not.

The debugger can not yet call any functions in the debugged exe.

You either can have your app store the date in a variable, that you
can watch.

Or your can use writeln/debugln

And compile with console -WC
