Call Stack Window (Microsoft Script Debugger)

The Call Stack window displays a list of active procedure calls and running threads.

To display this window, choose Call Stack from the View menu.

When a procedure is called, the debugger adds its name to the list of in the Call Stack window. When a procedure finishes and returns control to the calling procedure, the debugger removes its name from the list in the Call Stack window.

The combo box at the top of the window displays the currently running threads. If more than one thread is running — which is most often the case if you are debugging a Java applet — you can use the combo box to select a thread to debug. Each thread has its own call stack. When you select a different thread, the call stack window is updated to show the procedures for that thread.

Double-click a procedure in the list to see the place in the script where it was called.

The Call Stack window is a floating window that isn't affected when other windows are repositioned using the Cascade, Tile Horizontally, or Tile Vertically command on the Window menu.
