Hi gurus in the sky

I use form control buttons to make life easy for my users. I want to disable a right click totally. I have discovered how to disable the "cut, copy, paste etc" menu by pasting into ThisWorkbook

Private Sub Workbook_SheetBeforeRightClick(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
End Sub

But having achieved that, a right click on the form control button still shows a "Move here, copy here, cancel" menu.

I want to suppress the use of the right click button across the whole workbook including form buttons. Any thoughts oh wise ones?

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Protecting a worksheet would do the trick
- there are various boxes to tick
- tick everything EXCEPT Edit Objects

The above may cause other issues that require a workaround, but does suppress shape right-click context menu
- sheet protection prevents user editing an object
