# CGEventSourceSetLocalEventsSuppressionInterval

Sets the interval that local hardware events may be suppressed following the posting of a Quartz event.

## Declaration

```occ
extern void CGEventSourceSetLocalEventsSuppressionInterval(CGEventSourceRef source, CFTimeInterval seconds);
```

## Parameters

- `source`: The event source to access.
- `seconds`: The period of time in seconds that local hardware events (keyboard or mouse) are suppressed after posting a Quartz event created with the specified event source. The value should be a number in the range [0.0, 10.0].

## Discussion

Discussion By default, the system does not suppress local hardware events from the keyboard or mouse during a short interval after a Quartz event is posted. You can use the function setLocalEventsFilterDuringSuppressionState(_:state:) to modify this behavior. This function sets the period of time in seconds that local hardware events may be suppressed after posting a Quartz event created with the specified event source. The default suppression interval is 0.25 seconds.
