The way to disable the right click menu is here: http://www.vb-world.net/tips/tip131.html

As for disabling the ctrl+C and ctrl+x functions, keep in mind that the ctrl key and c key can be pressed at different times so long as the ctrl is pressed first and released last. Try this:

Option Explicit
Dim ctrlDown As Boolean
Private Sub Text1_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
'Set ctrlDown to "True" until the KeyUp
'even is called to release it.
If Shift = 2 Then ctrlDown = True
End Sub

Private Sub Text1_KeyUp(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = vbKeyC And ctrlDown = True Then
'User pressed ctrl+C ... clear clipboard
Clipboard.Clear
Beep
End If
If KeyCode = vbKeyX And ctrlDown = True Then
'User pressed ctrl+X ... restore text
'and clear clipboard
Text1.Text = Clipboard.GetText
Clipboard.Clear
Beep
End If
'check if ctrl key was released
If Shift = 2 Then ctrlDown = False
End Sub


Good luck!

Or you could just set the ENABLED property of the textbox to FALSE, or just use a label instead.

quite :)
just do text1.enabled = false..?

or subclass it and handle the message manually LOL :)

Or you could just disable the control key on the keydown event:

Private Sub Text1_KeyDown(KeyCode as integer)
'not sure about the constant there... use the help
if KeyCode = vbKeyControl then KeyCode = 0
end sub

To set KeyCode = 0 cancels the key that was pressed....

Subclass the textbox, catch the WM_COPY message, and return 1 in the subclass (instead of calling the default windowproc).
This works pretty fine (I assume, I used it with the WM_PASTE message)
That's the easiest way.
The other way ic checking if Ctrl+C is pressed, or Ctrl+Insert is pressed.

Hi,

Keep this code in the keypress event of the text box:

Select Case KeyAscii
Case 3
DoEvents
Clipboard.GetText
Clipboard.Clear
MsgBox "You cannot copy items"
Case 22
KeyAscii = 0
End Select

------------

This works well and I hope this is what u need.

Regards,

Venkat.
