  11 The Threads Window</h1>
  12 <p>The threads window is displayed using <i>View|Threads</i>. The threads
  13 window lists the active threads of the program.</p>
  14 <p>The contents of the threads window are updated every time the program
  15 is stopped by the debugger. (That is, the window does <em>not</em> reflect
  16 the state while the program is running.)</p>
  17 <p>The first column shows the thread ID, the second column identifies the
  18 location where the thread currently executes.</p>
  19 <p>The marker in front of the line tells which thread currently is <em>active</em>:</p>
  20 <ul>
  21 <li>
  22 The <a href="stack.html">stack window</a> displays the active threads's
  23 backtrace.</li>
  24
  25 <li>
  26 The <a href="localvars.html">local variables</a> window displays the active
  27 thread's local variables.</li>
  28
  29 <li>
  30 The <a href="watches.html">watched expressions window</a> uses the active thread's local
  31 variables to evaluate the expressions.</li>
  32 </ul>
  33 <p>By clicking a listed thread, the active thread is switched, and the corresponding
  34 windows are updated. In particular, the <a href="sourcecode.html">source
  35 window</a> displays the location where the active thread is currently halted.</p>
