Disabling the Automatic Loading of the Default DICOM IOD Table

The default DICOM IOD Table is a large table with many entries. When the DICOM library is initially loaded, the DICOM IOD Table is not initially loaded. It will be automatically loaded the first time it is accessed. Specifically, the first call to any of the following methods will cause the automatic load of the default DICOM Context Group table (if it has NOT already been loaded):

DicomIodTable.Insert
DicomIodTable.Delete
DicomIodTable.GetRoot
DicomIodTable.GetParent
DicomIodTable.GetChild
DicomIodTable.GetFirst
DicomIodTable.GetLast
DicomIodTable.GetPrevious
DicomIodTable.GetNext
DicomIodTable.Exists
DicomIodTable.Find
DicomIodTable.FindClass
DicomIodTable.FindModule
DicomIodTable.FindModuleByIndex
DicomIodTable.SetName
DicomIodTable.SetDescription

To disable the automatic load of the Default DICOM IOD Table, call any of the following methods in your initialization code (before calling any other DICOM methods):
