If you move the mouse to the side of the screen, you will scroll to the side. I wish to disable this. Is that possible?

I'm afraid that won't work. I'm sorry, I probably should have given more detail. The event works like this:
The player is on a boat in a river, racing eastward. The water in the river is slowly draining behind them. Currently, the camera pans from one side of the river to the other. The player sails their ship, trying to keep up with the camera. During certain dramatic moments the camera will change to show the event from a different angle, but the player still has control of the boat. The only problem is when they scroll around or if they hit F10 which stops the camera pan all together.
I might be able to use a dummy unit and lock on to that. Then I could move it as needed.
Anyway, if there is no simple solution I might try that.
edit: + rep, of course!

How are you scrolling back and forth currently?
If you loop the camera fast enough, it will override the attempts at side-scrolling. I wouldn't use lock camera because it has other bad side effects like locking the minimap. I think there also might be a command for this, but I am not sure. Isn't it in the player settings? If it is then there has to be a way to affect it with a trigger. Maybe Jass. It's above my pay grade if it is located there.

No need for JASS (why? This is really simple).
Can you think of anything easier than dummies? Just move it WHEREVER you want, and set camera settings while locked into it.
For example, panning the camera from A to B locked into a dummy:
Lock the camera.
Set other settings (FarZ, Angle and optional stuff).
Knockback the dummy from A to B.
"Keep it simple" from Bribe's sig.
LE suggestion works too, but it's just making your job harder; and maybe not that performance friendly. Hasn't the dummy cons though.

If you are using a timer you can
The only way to move the camera in any way, is the drag the mag with the middle mouse button (they still cant zoom though).
I saw this here (tested it and it works like a charm).
call PanCameraToTimed(0x7FFFFFFF, 0x7FFFFFFF, 0x7FFFFFFF) just after you pan the camera (or apply a camera) and it wont let the player to move the camera.The only way to move the camera in any way, is the drag the mag with the middle mouse button (they still cant zoom though).
