If you choose to display the status bar (see Status Bar display control) it appears at the bottom of the AXD screen, as shown in Figure 5.8.

Figure 5.8. Status bar

Help text is displayed at the left of the status bar. This either reminds you how to display information relevant to your current situation or, when you pull down a menu from the menu bar and point to an item on it, explains the purpose of that menu item.

At the right, the current debug agent, processor, and image are shown (these are not always the same as the selected debug agent, processor, and image). Also, when a source or disassembly view has the focus, the current cursor line and column are shown.

A progress indicator shows the current operation being performed by the debugger.
