You have to be single-stepping (or at a breakpoint after starting your program
running).  You cannot debug a program without running it.  F8 will single-step
through your code, but will not trace into function calls (it will run function
calls at full speed and place you at the instruction following the called
function), F7 will single-step into function calls (provided the source is
available).  There are others that you will find.  Once the program is actually
executing, all the debug features are unghosted.

Look in the Debug menu (again, after your program has started).
