Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the CurrentThread property.

To test this property:

  1. Set a breakpoint in the target application. Run the add-in.

    The current thread is empty.

  2. Set a breakpoint in the target application. Run the target application in the debug mode. When the program stops at the breakpoint, run the add-in.

public static void CurrentThread(EnvDTE80.DTE2 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("Current Thread 
    Test");
    owp.Activate();

    owp.OutputString("Current Thread Info: ");
    EnvDTE80.Debugger2 debugger = (EnvDTE80.Debugger2)dte.Debugger;
    EnvDTE.Thread thread = debugger.CurrentThread;

    if (thread == null)
        owp.OutputString("No program is being debugged");
    else
        foreach (EnvDTE.StackFrame sf in thread.StackFrames)
            owp.OutputString("\nStack Frame: Function " + sf.FunctionName +
                             " returns type " + sf.ReturnType);
}
Sub ShowCurrentProcess()
    ' This function displays the current debugger
    ' mode in the Output window.
    Dim ow As OutputWindow
    ow = DTE2.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindOutput).Object

    Dim proc As EnvDTE.Process2
    proc = DTE2.Debugger.CurrentProcess

    If (proc Is Nothing) Then
        ow.ActivePane.OutputString("No process is being debugged")
    Else
        ow.ActivePane.OutputString("" + Str(proc.ProcessID) + ": " + _
        poc.Name + vbCrLf)
    End If
End Sub
