Preventing changes to slider scale while running?

Using the operating tool it is possible to change the marker spacing on the
scale associated with a front-panel slider control while the vi is running.
Is there a way to prevent this? A strict typedef control doesn't do it.

(Using a touch-panel screen, even with enlarged sliders, sometimes fat
fingers grab the scale instead of the slider when trying to make slider
adjustments ...)

There is a scale property/attribute called editable.
Change it to FALSE, and it will do what you want.
