UltraTextEditor Handle Paste Event
posted

When I inherit a System.Windows.Forms.Textbox, I can override the "WndProc" method and handle the paste event like this:

    Private Const WM_PASTE = &H302

    Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
        If (m.Msg = WM_PASTE) Then
            'do something
        End If

        MyBase.WndProc(m)
    End Sub

When I override Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditors.UltraTextEditor, and try the same thing, the m.Msg never equals WM_PASTE (&H302).  How can I handle paste events in Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditors.UltraTextEditor?

    Hi,

    You can't. When the UltraTextEditor goes into edit mode, it displays a Microsoft TextBox control inside itself. It is this TextBox control that is receives the Paste message and since you cannot replace this TextBox with a derived class of your own, there's no way to do what you are describing. At least not by overriding the WndProc.
