Disable copy+paste in textfield

[acarur01]

Is there any way to achieve this with SmartClient? I need this behaviour for fields such as email.

First, reconsider doing this at all - sounds like something that has no actual function but will annoy the user.

If you need to do it for some reason, you want to add a handle for the showContextMenu event on the form and cancel it (via returning false) for a right click on the specific field.

I think it is a valid use case - if a form is asking for an email address for one field and verification of that email in another field, you wouldn't want the user to copy+paste from the first field in case they made a mistake in typing in the email address in the first place.

To get the currently right-clicked element, does it suffice to get the current focused field in that dynamic form?

Unless they are copying and pasting from elsewhere, where they know there are no typos.

Ok - you skipped over my question - To get the currently right-clicked element, does it suffice to get the current focused field in that dynamic form?

Note that if you edit an existing post to add a new question, we don't see a notification of this.

Right-click should cause focus, yes. But again, as we've noted, we think implementing this enforcement at all is a very bad idea.

Ah, ok. I thought maybe you would read the final post. Will know for next time :)

And yes, I have brought this up but the client is still asking for this functionality.
