NAME

DsValuatorSwitch − Enable or disable valuators

SYNOPSIS

C:

void DsValuatorSwitch(switchvalue)
DtSwitch switchvalue;

Fortran:

CALL DSVS(SWVAL)
INTEGER∗4 SWVAL

DESCRIPTION

DsValuatorSwitch sets the system valuator switch.  The parameter switchvalue specifies whether valuator callbacks are currently allowed to execute. 

A valuator is a callback object that depends on input slots.  Input slots are entry points for DtReal type values.  These input slots are the primary interface for connecting input events and values to Dor´
e.

When the value of the valuator switch is DcOff <DCOFF>, all inputs through input slots are blocked.  When the value of the valuator switch is DcOn <DCON>, all blocked inputs are flushed.  This mechanism allows applications to edit the database without worrying about simultaneous editing by valuators responding to external events. 

DEFAULTS

The default DsValuatorSwitch is DcOn <DCON>.
