There is an addon-less method described here: How to set a breakpoint on a C++ class in the Visual Studio Debugger

In short, you can bring up the "New Breakpoint" dialog by pressing CTRL+B and type in ClassName::* to the function field. In Visual Studio 2017 you need to include the namespace in the field, as in NamespaceName::ClassName::*. You can then disable some of them in the breakpoints window.
