Hi,

I am developing a dashboard to control a treadmill. One function is to change the slope of the treadmill. I am using a customize button node to move up or down while the button is pressed.

I am using a touchscreen sometimes depending on how the button is pressed the right click is emulated and context menu is shown. My problem is that while the context menu is open my motor is still moving even if I do not longer press the button.

My app is a "kiosk" application, I would like to disable contextual menu for my entire dashboard. How can I do that.

Thank you in advance,  
Jérôme

You can add a ui\_template set to be part of the page head section containing

```auto
<script>
document.addEventListener('contextmenu', event => event.preventDefault());
</script>

```
