# MDQueryDisableUpdates(_:)

Disables updates to the query result list.

## Declaration

```swift
func MDQueryDisableUpdates(_ query: MDQuery!)
```

## Parameters

- `query`: The query.

## Discussion

Discussion This function should be called before iterating over query results that could change due to live-updates. The disabled state is a counter and disabling can be done recursively and from different threads.
