Disbale copy/paste feature

553 Contributor
Some websites disable the Windows copy and paste feature to use on thier website. A text can not be copied and pasted either from using shortcuts : CTRL+C, CTRL+V or from using copy, paste option from the menu.

These website disable copy/paste probably for some safety reasons.

What gets changed in the Windows that disables copy/paste feature. Is there anything in Registry that gets changed or anything else or a website uses any ActiveX sort of thing to so it?

If it is done through Windows settings, could these be manually changed when the website disbales copy/paste feature ?

Thanks

Normally someone disables right click on their website because they don't want people appropriating their material. It wouldn't be considered good netiquette to then bypass that lock and start copying material.

Nothing gets changed on your computer. It's just a piece of Java script running that disables your right click menu while you are on that page.

I have no intention of doing something illegal .

For just learning more, i am interested in find out the way to bypass such restriction.

I have used javascript. If a website uses javascript to disable copy/paste then probably there isn't any way to by pass it but if there is something done to registery, etc then it is possible.

if someone knows a workaround to bypass javascript restriction, please share it , thanks.

There are ways around it or programs that will allow you to copy the material, but as was said above it is bad etiquette, not illegal, just rude and inconsiderate. I do find web sites that disable that option annoying and I don't return, but it is their right to block such actions on their webpage.

I am using Visual Basic 2003 and I have written a notepad like application using the RichTextBox control. I am having trouble trying to emulate Microsoft Words text block copy/paste feature. In MS Word you would Hold Alt while clicking and dragging the mouse. A block of text would then be selected and you can then copy and paste what you have selected. Has anybody done this? What I am trying to do is copy multiple columns across...

Hi all, I am trying to copy a form that is in one frame, using a button on another frame. The form has a couple of tables inside it. I can get it working when the button is in the same frame, but not in different ones. I get an "invalid argument" error on the controlRange.addElement(x) line. What I have so far is: <script language='javascript'>

I have a very large class library and I need to provide documentation. I need a list of all methods but I don't need the underlying code so the collapse to definitions form is great. However, if I copy the code editors contents when it is collapsed then paste it into MS Word it expands into full code. Any thoughts?

I finally discoved why controls are not getting pasted into my multiview "view". The position attribute (absolute, normal, offset) is being set to absolute. I assume this is a "feature" of the designer? I copy a control that is in a "normal to flow" position in one view and paste it into another view as I need the same control. Iinstead, it appears at the top of the document. I then find it at the top of the document (it could be...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
