    Default Xref Compare Variable

    What is the X-ref Compare Variable that will ignore that when I update X-Refs?

    Good morning Tim!
    Letting you in on a little secret, if you use the command "sysvdlg" it gives you a dialog with all the available variables, and their values of what they do.
    You can search with wildcards* if you know some of what you're looking for.

    Good tip Ted. For the longest time, I couldn't get the search to work. You HAVE to use wildcards to make a complete search pattern or it won't work. You can't just type DIM and have it narrow down to all the dim vars.

    Thankfully it's saved in the Registry so it shouldn't keep coming back.
    I added a toggle to turn it off and on in case it might come in handy some day.
    Code:
    ^P(ai_onoff "XcompareEnable") ^P
    Used the same images as Xref Manager then after adding it to a panel added the Display Name
    Code:
    $(if,$(and,1,$(getvar,XcompareEnable)),!.)Compare Xrefs
    to display when it's on.
