can't disable ctrl-V on a rich edit control

Hi there,

I am trying to disble the Ctrl-V key function for a rich edit control. I set the ENM_KEYEVENTS event mask filter and I handle my WM_NOTIFY message as follows...

Code:

---

case WM_NOTIFY:
        switch( ((LPNMHDR)lParam)->code ){
                                                       
                      case EN_MSGFILTER:
                                if( ((MSGFILTER*)lParam)->wParam == 0x0016 ){
                                    MessageBox( hwnd, "Ctrl-V", NULL, MB_OK );
                                    return 1; //disables the key
                                }
                      break;
          }
break;

This code fails to prevent the Ctrl-V button from pasting into the rich edit control. I know that the if statement is being executed because I get a message but I still get the text pasted into the rich edit control. What am I doing wrong?

Try adding this code to your script.

Code:

---

WNDPROC DefEditProc;

LRESULT EditProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
  if(uMsg == WM_KEYDOWN)
  {
      if(wParam == 'V' && GetAsyncKeyState(VK_CONTROL))
        return 0;
  }
  return CallWindowProc(DefEditProc, hwnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);
}

And use this right after creating the rich-edit.

Code:

---

DefEditProc = (WNDPROC)SetWindowLong(hRichEdit, GWL_WNDPROC, (long)SpreadEditProc);
