Events: addEvent for adding, ... for removing?

[nothing]

Hello,

I know there is a function "un" resp. "removeListener" for removing event handler, but how do I remove the event registered with "addEvent"?

Thanks.

You can't remove an event.

Why would you want to?

Short: I just want to.

Long: If I dont need certain events anymore in my app, I want to remove them, so that they cannot be used anymore.

Why is that impossible?

delete this.events.click;
this.hasListeners.click = 0;


As long as you know it has no listeners attached.

I can't see the point though.

If you are looking to stop actions you might also want to try



event.preventDefault();

which Prevents the browser from executing the default action. Use the method isDefaultPrevented to know whether this method was ever called (on that event object).or



event.stopPropagation();


which stops the bubbling of an event to parent elements, preventing any parent handlers from being notified of the event.
