The
Status Bar
A status bar
(see the figure below) appears at the bottom of the main WinDbg window. The
status bar provides information about WinDbg and the active source window, such
as line and column position and editor mode. When debugging, the status bar
will also give the WinDbg process ID (PID) and thread ID (TID) of the code
being debugged.
