To use pop-up menus in the threads view, select a thread from the list or position your mouse pointer in the threads view, and press MB3. A pop-up menu with the following menu items appears: Abort Requests that the selected thread be terminated at the next allowed opportunity. The exact effect depends on the current event facility (which is language dependent). For Ada tasks, this is equivalent to executing an abort statement. Activate Makes the selected thread the active thread. Hold Places the selected thread on hold. Nohold Releases the selected thread on hold. Visible Makes the selected thread the visible thread.
