Invoke debugger programmatically?

Question

Is there a way to invoke the script debugger programmatically?

I want to create a dialog box that offers an option to start the debugger (as if it had reached a breakpoint in one of the callers), similar to the one that QTP offers when it encounters a playback error.

This is for QTP, but i estimate that if one can do this for VBS, it'll work there too.

Updated update

The stop statement does what I want -- except for this (in conjunction with QTP/UFT):

• it stops where the stop statement is (and not in the caller's code) (I think I could work around that by putting the function with the stop statement into a file that I load in a way that it won't be jumped into by the debugger (LoadLibrary? ExecuteFile?));

• it requires me to have triggered one "real" breakpoint during the run session previously, and continued execution with "Run"/F5.

Does Err.Raise work for what you're trying to achieve?
