Threads View

The Threads view in the Debugger window lists the thread groups in the current debugging process. You switch the display of the Threads view by clicking the Threads button in the toolbar of the Debugger window.

The thread groups are expandable hierarchies. Each group contains other thread groups or single threads, which in turn contain Locals and CallStack nodes. The Locals node displays local variables and their current values in the context of the thread. The CallStack node lists the hierarchy of method calls made during execution of the thread.
