Abstract
Embodiments can provide interactivity to one or more components (e.g., windows, dialog boxes, tool bar, etc.) in a visual analyzer application while blocking interactivity for other components displayed on a GUI of the application. A contribution mechanism can be leveraged where a broadcast message can be sent to various components displayed on the GUI of the application. The various components within the application can then indicate whether they would like to be kept interactive during a triggering event (e.g., upon selection of a certain component). Upon receiving the indication that the components would like to remain interactive, the application allows those components to remain interactive while preventing access to other components in the GUI.
