Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method detect an error in an application comprising a component having a control that is displayed in a first state on a display device. Responsive to the detecting of the error, the method comprises associating the error with the control, and, upon making this association, the method comprises automatically modifying the component at application run-time. This modification indicates that the control is no longer functional. A display operation of the component is performed where the modified component has: a) the control displayed in a second state on the component, or b) the control is removed from the component. The method may be repeated when other errors occur, and the control may be restored when the underlying error is resolved.
