Overview

Using the glow.events.removeListener method it is possible to remove event listeners that you have created with the glow.events.addListener method.

Below is a simple example of how to use the removeListener method. The button has no code applied to it by default, however clicked on the checkbox will give the button a JavaScript alert box:

HTML

<input type="checkbox" id="listener_switch" />
<label for="listener_switch">Alert on/off</label>
<input type="button" id="listener_target" value="ALERT" />

JavaScript

// This variable stores the event listener
var alert_listener;
// Add an event listener onto the radio box to listen for clicks
glow.events.addListener("input#listener_switch", "click", function(event) {
	// If the check box is checked then add the event listener onto the button
	if(this.checked) {
		alert_listener = glow.events.addListener("input#listener_target", "click", function() {
			alert("ALERT");
		});
	// Else remove the event listener from the button
	} else {
		glow.events.removeListener(alert_listener);
	}
});
