How to disable Next/Prev Buttons in Lightbox

We have a lightbox that sits on top of a base screen within the course. The lightbox has an "x" button to close it. When the lightbox is closed, the learner will see the base screen again where he/she can select another hot spot and open another lightbox. When a lightbox is open, we don't want to the learner to click the Next or Prev buttons which would take the learner away from the base screen. We only want them to be able to use the "x" button and go back to the base screen. Is there an easy way to disable the Next and Prev buttons? Thanks!

When you set up your trigger for the lightbox slide, there is a checkbox for "Navigation Controls." Uncheck that box.
Thanks, Meryem!
I know this is a very old question but, if you are not using built-in nav controls and are using custom buttons instead, you can still achieve this effect. Use the "when lightboxed" trigger set to control when/whether any object appears when using a lightbox.
Thanks Robin! That helped me out!
One extra detail for anyone else looking, when setting up the trigger, the piece you need can be found under conditions in the "Window" category as "If this slide is lightboxed".
