| The Stack Display consists of a listbox which displays levels of the call stack |
| on per line. Each line contains the level number (useful when using the |
| <A HREF="console.html">Console Window</A>) and a description of the function executing |
| in that level. Typically, the function name and either the address of the function |
| or the file and line number where the function is defined are displayed. The |
| Stack Window may also be used to jump between levels of the stack. |
| <BR> |
| |
| <H2><A NAME="display_nav">Navigating the Stack Window</A></H2> |
| Navigation of the Stack Window is accomplished by clicking on the desired level |
| with the left mouse button. The <A HREF="source.html#display">Source Window |
| Display</A> updates to show the selected frame. All other secondary windows, |
| <A HREF="register.html">Registers</A>, <A HREF="watch.html">Watch</A>, and |
| <A HREF="locals.html">Locals</A> update their displays for the selected frame. |
| <BR> |
| |
| <H2><A NAME="display_lvl">Changing Stack Levels</A></H2> |
| To switch frames, simply click the left mouse button on the desired frame and the |
| debugger will switch contexts, updating all windows. The selected frame is highlighted |
| (in gold, by default). |
| |
| <P>As an alternative, changing stack levels may be accomplished via the |
| <A HREF="source.html#toolbar_frame">Frame Control Buttons</A> on the Source Window's |
| Toolbar. These buttons may be used to change frames one level at a time (either |
| immediately up or immediately down) or to jump to the bottom-most stack frame. |
| See <A HREF="source.html#toolbar_frame">Source Frame Control Buttons</A> for more |
| information.</P> |
