Selection.removeListener(listener)
Arguments
listener An object that was previously registered as a listener for Selection.
Returns
A Boolean: true if listener was found and removed; false if listener was not registered as
an event listener for Selection. The return value is useful for debugging code that removes
listeners.
Description
The removeListener() method stops listener from receiving Selection event notifications. It
should be used only after
listener has been registered as an event listener via addListener().
The listener object is not deleted, but it can be removed and added repeatedly. Event
listeners should be removed explicitly when the task they perform is no longer required.
