The Cancel Event check box should be selected if you have the following scenario:

On the Form Submit event, which is triggered when the Submit button is pressed, you add a validation behavior. This validation behavior could be, for example, if a certain field has a certain format which is checked on a branch condition.

If the branch is false (validation was not successful) then you use an exit command with the cancel event to cancel the submission.

When an Exit command is dropped onto the Behaviors canvas, this radio button is selected by default.
