Behavior

Select a radio button in the Behavior section to determine what the block will do when it intercepts the click/key combination:

• Deny user action: Denies the click/key combination from getting through to the application; it is dismissed as if it did not occur

  • For screen and window blocks, there are additional options that allow you to customize what the user sees when the click is denied

• Store user action: Stores the click/key combination to memory in order to allow or deny it at a later time, according to a predefined logic

• Allow user action: Release the click/key combination so that it gets through to the application

When clicked/pressed

Select an option from this dropdown list to determine how the wizard should proceed once the user action is either denied, stored, or allowed. The default option is Do nothing.

Additional options

Elect whether to include the Windows task bar in the blocked area of the screen

Denied click options

Select one or more of these additional options when the behavior of a screen or window block is set to deny the user action –

• Show indication when click is denied: When the click is intercepted and denied, the user receives a notification. You also have the option to allow the user to:

  • Remove the block
