ABSTRACT:
A system and method for providing restricted access to controls of a graphical user interface. An object-oriented subclass is selectively applied to individual controls, so that upon creation or opening of a window having any such controls, a region of obscuration is defined which shields control information from view. Access may then be obtained by entry of an authorized password. Alternatively, a determination may be made during the creation or opening of a window as to whether the user or terminal is authorized, and if not, a region of obscuration is defined and displayed over the control information. Different levels of access to the control information may also be provided, such as view only and view and manipulate.
