Rich Text - How can I make Text not happen?

[Paul O]

Hi all,

Likely to be an easy one this!!

I am using a rich text control to allow shortcuts to be dragged and dropped onto the window.

However, I don't want it to allow text to be written (just the shortcuts). I can't use the "Enabled" properties, as this would stop the shortcuts also.

I think I can put something in the KeyPress event to stop it, but not sure what? I can put a message box in there, and it is displayed before the text, but then it prints the text anyway.

Can anyone tell me how I stop text from being written in please?

Many thanks in advance!

Paul.

Thanks for the reply Wokawidget, but unfortunately this also prevents you from dragging shortcuts into the window.

Any other ideas?

Cheers!

Private Sub txtDocument_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
    KeyAscii = 0
End Sub

That works a treat. Thanks very much Wokawidget
