  • Method and System for Restricting User Operations in a Graphical User Inerface Window
    Publication number: 20070240062
    Abstract: A method is presented for a GUI mechanism to restrict user input within a GUI window. A GUI control disablement function is activated by selecting a GUI control, which is dedicated to selecting enablement or disablement of the GUI control disablement function. When a user input event is received, the received user input event is discarded when the GUI control disablement function is in an activated state. At a granularity over an entire window, a user can select a GUI control that is associated with a GUI window, and the GUI control is not contained within the GUI window. The GUI window is then locked in response to selecting the GUI control such that subsequent user input for GUI controls within the GUI window cannot select those GUI controls.
