Text boxes - Stoping Pasting

[Lympex]

Hi

Does anyone know how to stop someone pasting into a Text control?

Thanks a lot

SubClass the WM_PASTE message.

Add to a Module

Declare Function GetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long
Declare Function SetWindowLong& Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long)
Declare Function CallWindowProc Lib "user32" Alias "CallWindowProcA" (ByVal lpPrevWndFunc As Long, ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal msg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
Const GWL_WNDPROC = (-4)
Const WM_PASTE = &H302

Public WndProcOld As Long

Public Function WindProc(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
    If wMsg = WM_PASTE Then Exit Function
    WindProc = CallWindowProc(WndProcOld&, hwnd&, wMsg&, wParam&, lParam&)
End Function

Sub SubClassWnd(hwnd As Long)
    WndProcOld& = SetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_WNDPROC, AddressOf WindProc)
End Sub

Sub UnSubclassWnd(hwnd As Long)
    SetWindowLong hwnd, GWL_WNDPROC, WndProcOld&
    WndProcOld& = 0
End Sub

Add to a Form with a TextBox.

Private Sub Form_Load()
    SubClassWnd Text1.hwnd
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
    UnSubclassWnd Text1.hwnd
End Sub
