12 <BR>The Stack Window allows users to view the call stack and jump between
16 <LI><A HREF="#display">Stack Display</A></LI>
17 <LI><A HREF="#display_nav">Navigating the Stack Window</A></LI>

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