disable events in the code

[novice001]

Hi All
Does anyone know if it's possible to disable/enable event responses from the code?
I have a field that has some code attached to changeValue event, and i have a button that sets some value in that field, but i don't want the field to react on changeValue in this case(but still react if the value is changed by something else).
Is it possible to write something to disable this event before setting new value and enable it after the value is set?
Thank you, any help is greatly appreciated.

There may be a simpler way, but this is what came to mind. When you press the button set a variable flag (i.e. fromButton = 1), then have your changeValue event check the flag before proceeding. Don't forget to reset the flag.
