viDisableEvent
Syntax
viDisableEvent(ViSession vi, ViEventType eventType, ViUInt16 mechanism);
Description
This function disables servicing of an event identified by the eventType parameter for the mechanisms specified in the mechanism parameter. Specifying VI_ALL_ENABLED_EVENTS for the eventType parameter allows a session to stop receiving all events. The session can stop receiving queued events by specifying VI_QUEUE. Applications can stop receiving callback events by specifying either VI_HNDLR or VI_SUSPEND_HNDLR. Specifying VI_ALL_MECH disables both the queuing and callback mechanisms. viDisableEvent prevents new event occurrences from being added to the queue(s). However, event occurrences already existing in the queue(s) are not discarded.
