## Resuming Program Execution

Use the Resume command () to continue executing a suspended debugging session. If the debugging session is already active, use this command to switch view from the Thread window to the executing program.

NOTE If the Debug view loses focus, the Resume control will appear disabled. To regain focus, select a thread in the Debug view to update the tool bar and reactivate the Resume control.

#### Resuming Program Execution

- Click the Resume button () in the Debug view

> or

- Right-click the thread in the Debug view and select Resume from the Debug contextual menu

or

- Select Run > Resume from the menu bar

The suspended session resumes, or the view changes to the running program.

NOTE The Resume command appears only for those platforms that support it. If your platform does not support this command, you must stop the current debugging session and start a new session.

For more information on debugging, see C/C++ Development User Guide > Tasks > Running and debugging projects > Debugging.
