## Disabling an Eventpoint

Disable an eventpoint to prevent it from performing its specified action. The disabled eventpoint remains at the source-code line at which you set it, so that you can enable it later. Disabling the eventpoint is easier than clearing it and re-creating it from scratch.

#### To disable an eventpoint

1. Select the eventpoint to disable

Select the eventpoint by name in the Breakpoints view, or click the cursor on the source-code line that contains the eventpoint.

2. Click Debug > Disable Eventpoint

The Disable Eventpoint menu appears.

3. From the menu, click the Disable Eventpoint command, where Eventpoint is the type of eventpoint that you want to disable

The enabled eventpoint icon changes to a disabled eventpoint icon (shown at left). The disabled eventpoint icon indicates that the eventpoint does not perform its specified action.
