Hi Mike,

Thanks for the reply. Even if I manage to get the reference to the TextBox used by the UltraTextEditor, how would I trap the 'Paste' message destined to that TextBox unless it is a custom one written by myself?

With KeyDown event, we can trap the 'Control+V' key press but how would I trap the paste initiated by right clicking on the textbox's context menu?

I'm not an expert in the windows programming, so please correct me if I didn't get your point.

Hi

Have you implemented this in the end? I'm having the same problem and cannot find easy solution to this.

I was thinking I could create my own implementation but textBox is private so I can not create my own editor at this point, even if I override TextBox property - this is actually stange as if textBox is private it doesn't make sense to have TextBox property virtual as if you change it and not use textBox filed this class will be in invalid state as other functions are using textBox field.

This is EditorWithText class.

public virtual EmbeddableTextBox TextBox
{
  get
  {
    if ((this.textBox == null) && !base.Disposed)
    {
      try
      {
        new SecurityPermission(SecurityPermissionFlag.UnmanagedCode).Assert();
        this.CreateEmbeddableTextBoxWithUIPermissions();
      }
      catch
      {
        this.textBox = new EmbeddableTextBox(this);
      }
      this.textBox.Location = new Point(-10000, -10000);
    }
    return this.textBox;
  }
}

The property is virtual because we, internally, use a different textbox class based on whether or not we have full trust. There are certain things we cannot do in a partial trust environment. It's not intended for you to replace the TextBox with your own control.

Mike thanks for clarifying this, how about my main question, are you planing to introduce BeforePaste?

Hi Mike,

Any update on this?

I also have the same requirement to preprocess the pasted text.

Can you please let me know any work around for this?

Thanks,
