Disallow "paste" for an input string

[TanTan]

Hi,

How can I disallow the "paste" function in an input string?

I am using Labview 8.5.1.

Thanks.

Hi tantan,

- disallow shortcut menus for your control

- catch/filter keypress events of Ctrl-V

P.S.: And don't create double posts for the same topic! Keep all information in one place!

Hi GerdW,

Thanks for your feedback. Sorry I can't delete the first post previously before I send out the second post.

For the catch/filter keypress events of Ctrl-V. Can elaborate more about it? Where should I start?

Thanks.

Hi TanTan,

to check keypress events you should (obviously) start with an event structure! 😉

You have to capture the key pressed and discard that if it is a combination of Ctrl and V. Check the attached vi.

Example converted here:http://forums.ni.com/t5/Version-Conversion/Version-9-to-8-5-1/m-p/2267914#U2267914.

In that thread, I also gave an example without using the keyboard input reference.

Hi Crossrulz,

Thanks for your simple example, it has solved my problem!

I prefer to remove a menu item instead of simply ignoring a seemingly allowed item.
