Disable KeyBoard ShortCuts on a textbox

[swreng]

Dear all,

Is there anyway to disable the keyboard shortcuts from a textBox (ctl+v,ctl+c,ctl+x Shift+Insert,Shift+Delete,Ctl+Insert) in order the user can not copy,cut or paste data on it only to write something.
Also i would like to hide or disable the pop up menu which is displaying on right click on the textbox.

Many thanks

Hey swreng,

Very easy to do this one. You should find a property on your textbox called "ShortcutsEnabled". Simply set this to false.

This also disabled the popup menu you speak of.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Daniel.

You can capture the KeyDown event and the mousedown event to do this manually.

e.Cancel = true will prevent the keypress or mouseclick from being performed. Just check which mouse button and which keys have been pressed.

Hi to all,

Basically is a request of my client and i think that he has right.

I have a form which the user he can change the application password, so i have 3 textboxes as all the applications:

One for the old password
One for the new password
One to confirm the new password

If by mistake presses a wrong key in the new password and copy that in the confirm new password the application will be confirm and change the password but the really password is not that he thinks (because of the mistake).
That's why


Many thanks
