HI Folkz!
Couldn't find in with the search, so i ask now
I usually used OllyDBG, and i like it very well. Today i looked at IDA and it seems to be even better
BUT there is one think wich frustates me. Is there no way to say
BPX GetDlgItemTextA ?? In Sice i can break at every API call with bpx, just with 1 Breakpoint. In Olly i can automaticly set a Breakpoint to every call of the function. In IDA i can see where the function is called, with the cross references, but is there no way to say that IDA should break at every call of a function x, without going to each refernce an set it manually?

Open the imports tab/view, find your central API call double click on it - it usually takes you to the bottom of the code - set your break point there, I don't really use the IDA debugger but, that looks as though it should work for you - the reason I dont use the debugger, is partially because dynamic adcii string data isn't prominently displayed, as in Olly, it's probably there somewhere I just haven't bothered finding it - you also cannot change code on the fly as in Olly, at least it doesn't appear so - I'll probably be told I'm wrong but - Olly has so much more support.
