How can i remove the event listener form a newSwitch ? 

local function onSwitchPress( event ) local switch = event.target print("witch Press") -- remove event listener ?? end local onOffSwitch = widget.newSwitch {     x = dpw - dpw/2,     y = dph - dph/2,     style = "onOff",     id = "onOffSwitch",     onPress = onSwitchPress } onOffSwitch:setState( { isOn=true, isAnimated=true} )

Can you set a flag that keeps the listener from being called?

local flagIsSet = false timer.performWithDelay( 3000, function() flagIsSet = true print(" flagIsSet is "..tostring(flagIsSet)) timer.performWithDelay(1000, function() flagIsSet = false print(" flagIsSet is "..tostring(flagIsSet)) end, 1) end, 20) local function onSwitchPress( event ) local switch = event.target if flagIsSet == true then print("catching unhandled switch press here") else print("Switch Press") end end

this seems to work :smiley:

flagIsSet = true local function onSwitchPress( event ) local switch = event.target if flagIsSet == true then print("catching unhandled switch press here") flagIsSet = false else print("Switch Press") end end
