Refresh_Display Initialization Variable

See Also

Controls whether VSS automatically refreshes its file list in the file pane of VSS Explorer.

Syntax

Refresh_Display = {Yes|No}

Example

Instructs VSS Explorer to periodically rebuild its file list:

Refresh_Display = Yes

Remarks

Periodically, VSS Explorer refills its file list, so that any changes users have made are reflected in the display. Refreshing keeps the VSS screen up-to-date, but it also causes a momentary delay. This variable controls whether VSS automatically refreshes its file list; if it is set to Yes (the default), Refresh_Interval controls how often. If this variable is set to No, you may want to manually refresh the file list periodically, using the Refresh File List command on the View menu.

You can also set this variable in your SS.INI file by using the Automatically Refresh File List option on the View tab in the SourceSafe Options dialog box.
