Possible to prevent pasting into form-entry fields?

Just curious. I am writing a description for a site I want developers
to build (mostly in flash) I was wondering if it is possible to
prevent pasting into a field

Thanks!

Why in the world would you want to develop a site in Flash? Just to piss
off users on dial up?
As long as you're doing something that silly, sure, prevent pasting with
javascript so I can turn off scripting and do whatever I want to your
site.

(IOW, no, you can't do that reliably)

No. But if you explained which particular problem you're trying to
solve, perhaps we could provide alternative solutions.

Hi Everyone. I have been designing a form with about 100 or so controls and today I pasted some code from another test project into this one and then all the controls on the form disapeared from view. If I look at the Region " Windows Form Designer generated code" section I can see the code for the controls are there. Except for a few controls, like a tab control and some labels (these controls are highlighted with errors). Why would this...

Hi all, Is the above possible? I guess I need an API call for this ? How and where to find this? One of my new apps is used as a sort of 'dedicated' thing. Users see an empty desktop with *only* two buttons.

In fact there is NO taskbar... ...

Hello, I am looking for a clever way to prevent someone from pasting copied text outside of my app. I know how to monitor the clipboard and get an WM_DRAWCLIPBOARD message when text is stored in the clipboard... If only I could detect some kind of outgoing message that the clipboard is about to paste, then I could check to see if my app is currently in focus and allow/deny as necessary.

Hi all, I have a form where we would like the user to input their email address twice, to ensure they've typed it correctly, as is found on most sign-ups I'm looking for a solution to the problem where a user (and me it has to be said) just either highlights the email address with their mouse (or Ctrl-A) and then Ctrl-C, Ctrl-P (or right-click copy, right-click paste) into the next field down.

Hi, I'm developing an application with VB.NET 2003 and I want to forbid pasting into a textbox. The problem is not the context menu, but the Ctrl+V shortcut. How can I prevent that the user can paste anything into a textbox, even if (maybe) another shortcut for Pasting has been defined? Thanks in advance!

Hi, Currently we have a text box which takes only Numbers. but using control keys and mouse we are able to paste string which has invalid data (i.e. !!@nmbdnm). So how can I restrict the pasting of invalid data on the text box while it should allow numeric strting to be pasted.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
