# Threads pane

The Threads pane displays all the threads in the current program and uses an arrow to show the current thread. Use the Threads pane to view information about the threads in your program, set the current thread, and enable or disable thread execution.

All the options for the Threads pane are available from the context menu and the menu bar. Menu options that have an icon appear on the tool bar.

To optimize debug performance, temporarily suspend updates by right-clicking the pane and selecting Suspend Updates from the context menu. While in the suspended mode, the pane displays the indicator Suspended and pane icon is unavailable. Right click and select Resume Updates to permit updating the pane information.
