Overview

The Threads view allows you to view and manipulate threads within a multi-threaded program.

You can view threads when your program's execution is paused.

In the main window, click the Threads tab.
Double-click the thread you want to view. This changes the context of the program and the program counter to the selected thread. All of the WDB GUI views are updated based on the new context. The appropriate call stack and related stack frame data is displayed.

To prevent a thread from running until it is enabled again, click the right mouse button, and then click Disable Thread. A disabled thread is indicated by a 'D' symbol before the thread id.
To run a thread when you step or continue, click the right mouse button, and then click Enable Thread . By default, all threads are enabled.

Click the right mouse button, then click Open Separate View. The separate window behaves the same as the tabbed Threads view.
To close the separate window, click the right mouse button, then click Close.

See Tips for a shortcut to opening a separate window.

Click the toolbar button to open and close the Threads view in a separate window.
On the View menu, click Threads to quickly bring the Threads view to the top.
