    RichEditCtrl RTF paste disable

    does anybody know how to disable or ignore the RTF paste in a rich edit control ? it really messes up my rich edit control, for example.. i got a rich edit set to center align and single line and when i paste something from a site.. the center align turns to left and all characters look weird when i type something, and anyway i want my default char format to remain just like i paste something from a normal textbox to my rich edit
    btw im using MFC, thanks

    Have you considered subclassing your edit control? This will allow you to modify the behavior of the control. Thus, you can ignore any type of paste operation such as ctrl V etc.

    i am subclassing it, oh and the paste thing can be controlled easily but what i really cant control is the drag and drop method on some text i cant know when drag and drop is about to be done with some text.. i will have to cancel it and just set the text myself but i never found a message for that
