Disable swipe gesture in Touch Panel 600

Hardware and Linux

Can swipe gesture be disabled when using Touch Panel 600 series HMI? By adding a microbrowser, it’ll be disabled but is there any other known method for that? To prevent accidentally open it by the operator, there is a need to disable it.

Do you mean the swipe down gesture that display the menu ?

Correct, this is named as swipe gesture in device manual.

I had the question once. To disable this menu :

In the /etc/specific/gesture.conf you need to set “state” to “disabled”

state=disabled
scroll=yes
scroll_wheel_value=15
startrange_cap=2.5
startrange_res=0.5
arraysize=60
movelength=18
menu=yes
menu-timeout=5
menu-margin-left=10
menu-margin-right=90
menu-orientation=top
btn0=1
id0=ID_WBM
btn1=1
id1=ID_PLCLIST
btn2=1
id2=ID_TARGETVISU
btn3=1
id3=ID_DISPLAYCLEANING

  • If you want to set it up quickly (for non expert user) I’ve made an ipk file for a customer :
    disablemenu_v1.0.0_armhf.txt (878 Bytes)
  • Rename .txt to .ipk
  • Install it using the WBM (with “force install”)
  • Reboot the panel.
