Refresh_Interval Initialization Variable

See Also

Sets the time between file list auto-refreshes.

Syntax

Refresh_Interval = number of seconds

Example

Sets the refresh interval to 300 seconds (5 minutes):

Refresh_Interval = 300

Remarks

Periodically, VSS Explorer refills its file list, so that any changes other users have made are reflected in the display. Refreshing keeps the VSS screen up-to-date, but it also causes a momentary delay.

You can force refreshes manually with the Refresh File List option in the View menu, but if automatic refresh is on (as it is by default), this variable can be used to change the time delay between refreshes.

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.
