OnEditPaste Problem

[ugur_basak]

I want to edit some of my edit boxes before pasting data, so try to change them in OnEditPaste. This is working very good with Ctrl+V, but there is a problem. When i use right mouse button, there is a menu "copy, paste..." when i use that menus paste. OnEditPaste doesn't called. is there a solution?

The right-click menu comes from Windows. You are not handling it. It will only paste what is on the windows clipboard. Solution (In my opinion): Subclass the edit control. Then handle the mouse right-click in some way. this is this.

Are you handling the EN_CHANGE notification?

at first i dont want to use EN_CHANGE, but then i found it as last solution and used it. But there is a class i wrote that is inherited form CEdit. I use it for currencies. It doesn't call en_change, so i have to use EN_UPDATE for my CMyEdit, i guess it is not a good solution. But it seems to work. Also, can i only alter the pasted data in Dialog's with EN_CHANGE?

This notification is sent when an edit control is about to redraw itself (after the control has formatted the text, but before it displays the text). ugur_basak wrote: Also, can i only alter the pasted data in Dialog's with EN_CHANGE? This notification message is sent after the user has taken an action that may have altered text in an edit control. In other words, it's not a message that your code would send. To change the text in an edit control, send it a WM_SETTEXT or EM_SETTEXTEX message.
