Thread.Thaw Method

Enables the thread to execute.

Namespace:  EnvDTE
Assembly:  EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Sub Thaw
void Thaw()
void Thaw()
abstract Thaw : unit -> unit 
function Thaw()

Remarks

After a thread has been frozen, this method enables it to continue to execute.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the Thaw method.

To test this method

  1. Set the breakpoint inside the worker thread callback method.

  2. Run the target application in the debug mode.

  3. When the application stops on the breakpoint, run the add-in.

public static void FreezeThawTest(DTE dte)
{
    // Setup debug Output window.
    Window w = (Window)dte.Windows.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsWindowKindOutput);
    w.Visible = true;
    OutputWindow ow = (OutputWindow)w.Object;
    OutputWindowPane owp = ow.OutputWindowPanes.Add("Thread Freeze Thaw Test");
    owp.Activate();

    EnvDTE.Threads threads = dte.Debugger.CurrentProgram.Threads;
    owp.OutputString("There are " + threads.Count + " threads:\n");
    foreach(EnvDTE.Thread thread in threads)
    {
        owp.OutputString("\nThread: " + thread.ID + "  Name: " + thread.Name);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Is frozen                  : " + thread.IsFrozen);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Freezing . . . ");
        thread.Freeze();
        owp.OutputString("\n  Is frozen                  : " + thread.IsFrozen);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Thawing . . . ");
        thread.Thaw();
        owp.OutputString("\n  Is frozen                  : " + thread.IsFrozen);
    }
}
Shared Sub FreezeThawTest(ByRef dte As EnvDTE.DTE)
    Dim str As String
    Dim threads As EnvDTE.Threads = dte.Debugger.CurrentProgram.Threads
    str = "There are " + threads.Count.ToString() + " threads running."
    For Each thread As EnvDTE.Thread In threads
        str += vbCrLf + vbCrLf + "  Thread: " + thread.ID.ToString()
        str += vbCrLf + vbCrLf + "  Is frozen: " + thread.IsFrozen.ToString()
        str += vbCrLf + vbCrLf + "  Freezing ... "
        thread.Freeze()
        str += vbCrLf + vbCrLf + "  Is frozen: " + thread.IsFrozen.ToString()
        str += vbCrLf + vbCrLf + "  Thawing ... "
