c# Disable event for some time -

i have set of functions unregister event listbox1_selectedvaluechanged amount of time.

the function called: pause().

is there way function, can same variety of event like:

pause(listbox1.selectedvaluechanged)

or

pause(button1.click)

etc.?

    private system.windows.forms.timer disableevent = new system.windows.forms.timer();     private void pause(int fortime = 200)     {         listbox1.selectedvaluechanged -= new eventhandler(listbox1_selectedvaluechanged);          disableevent.tick += new eventhandler(disableevent_tick);         disableevent.interval = (fortime);         disableevent.enabled = true;         disableevent.start();     }     private void disableevent_tick(object sender, eventargs e)     {         if (disableevent.enabled == true)         {              disableevent.tick -= new eventhandler(disableevent_tick);                             disableevent.stop();             disableevent.enabled = false;              listbox1.selectedvaluechanged += new eventhandler(listbox1_selectedvaluechanged);         }     } 

i use datetime field that. check in selectedvaluedchanged() event if allowed run. (do not unreguster event)

for example: (pseudo)

public class class1 {     private datetime _isenabledafter = datetime.minvalue;      public class()     {         listbox1.selectedvaluechanged += new eventhandler(listbox1_selectedvaluechanged);     }      public void pause(int timems)     {         // set _isenabledafter in future.         _isenabledafter = datetime.now.addmilliseconds(timems);     }       public void listbox1_selectedvaluechanged(object sender, eventargs e)     {         // after _isenabledafter?         if(datetime.now < _isenabledafter)             // nope... nothing.             return;          // thing.     }  } 

it save timer , complexity.

could this:

public class class1 {     private timeenabledevent _selectedvaluechanged = new timeenabledevent();      public class1()     {         listbox1.selectedvaluechanged += (s, e) =>         {             if (_selectedvaluechanged.isenabled)                 listbox1_selectedvaluechanged(s, e);         };           _selectedvaluechanged.pause(200);     }       public void listbox1_selectedvaluechanged(object sender, eventargs e)     {         // thing.     }  } 

---

public class timeenabledevent {     private datetime _isenabledafter = datetime.minvalue;      public void pause(int timems)     {         // set _isenabledafter in future.         _isenabledafter = datetime.now.addmilliseconds(timems);     }      public bool isenabled     {         { return (datetime.now >= _isenabledafter); }     } }

update 2:

public partial class form1 : form {     private timeenabledevent _event = new timeenabledevent();      public form1()     {         initializecomponent();         listbox1.selectedvaluechanged += _event.check(listbox1_selectedvaluechanged);         _event.pause(1000);     }      private void listbox1_selectedvaluechanged(object sender, eventargs e)     {         // thing     } } 

---

internal class timeenabledevent {     internal eventhandler check(eventhandler listbox1_selectedvaluechanged)     {         return new eventhandler((ss, ee) =>         {             if (datetime.now >= _isenabledafter)                 listbox1_selectedvaluechanged(ss, ee);         });     }      private datetime _isenabledafter = datetime.minvalue;      public void pause(int timems)     {         // set _isenabledafter in future.         _isenabledafter = datetime.now.addmilliseconds(timems);     }  }
