Trap the Ctrl+V event on the textbox and clear the Clipboard before the paste event Regards, Pramod

You may be able to implement this by (a) removing the Paste item from the textbox's context menu (accessible using the ContextMenu property) and (b) handling the KeyPress event to ignore Ctrl/V. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

Why is this necessary? It seems overly aggressive to silently clear the contents of the clipboard. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

Have a look at this[^] article. It traps the paste event (overrides WndProc and handles WM_PASTE), which is what you wanted. Regards Senthil _____________________________ My Blog | My Articles | WinMacro
