Types of views

There are several types of views in the view pane:

  • Default:

    The all_threads view includes the process views and group views. This view contains all threads in the Network Configurator.

    Default views are refreshed based on the NetConfig file when Network Configurator/Network Monitor is opened.

    NetConfig can be changed separately from the view file. The views in the old view file may not be consistent with the new NetConfig file, especially for default created views. The refresh is performed to makes sure the default created views are up-to-date.

  • User-created:
    • process view

      The IDE creates a process view for each process. The default is process_helloworld. The process view name is named with the syntax, process_process name .

    • group view

      The IDE also creates a group view for every group and is named with the syntax group_group name .

    User-created views let you view threads/processes/groups, and can contain the sub-view which references the other views.

    When a thread is created in a group or process view, by default the group/process of the created thread is the currently selected group/process.

    For the all_threads view and user-created views in the Network Configurator, the default process name of a new thread is the site name. The default group name is blank.

    You can change the process/group of a thread in a selected view in Network Configurator. If the new process/group does not belong to the selected view, then there is a warning message after you click OK to commit the change: "The new process/group of the thread thread_name does not belong to current view. The thread_name is removed from this view."

    After dismissing the warning message, the changed thread is removed from the current view and it is added to the view to which it belongs.
