You can flag a thread that you want to give special attention by marking it with an icon in the Threads window. This icon can help you and others distinguish flagged threads from other threads.

Flagged threads also receive special treatment in the Thread list on the Debug Location toolbar. This list can show all threads or only flagged threads. When you flag a thread, the Thread list automatically switches to show only flagged threads, but you can switch it back to show all threads as appropriate.

To flag or unflag a thread by using the Threads window

  • In the Threads window, find the thread you are interested in and click the flag icon to select or clear the flag.

To unflag all threads

  • In the Threads window, right-click any thread and then click Unflag All Threads.
