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 <REAL∗8> 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>.
