References

  • 2 minutes to read

The References tool window displays all references found by the Tab to Next Reference feature as a tree. The tool window can also display a code preview for a reference selected in the tree.

twReferences

By default, the tool window updates the references tree automatically each time the search has been performed. However, you can change this behavior by clicking the Live Sync button at the left side of the toolbar.

btnLiveSync

In this case, the Live Sync button is replaced with the On Command and Refresh buttons. The displayed references are updated once the Refresh button is clicked. To switch back to automatic synchronization, click the On Command button.

btnOnCommand

In addition to the buttons mentioned above, the tool window toolbar includes the following button groups.
