Disabling Copy Paste in a TextBox
Hi this article is more or less similar to the last article “Restricting the mouse click on a web page” the logic is the same with little intelligence. In this article I will disable the Copy, Paste and Ctrl Functionality of a TextBox, before reading this article I request you to please check the previous article for better understanding.

<html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”>
<head runat=”server”>
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”Restrict Copy and Paste.js”>

<body>
<form id=”form1″ runat=”server”>
<pre>
Right Click Disabled : <asp:TextBox ID=”TextBoxCopy” runat=”server”
onMouseDown=”DisableRightClick(event)”>
</asp:TextBox>
Ctrl Key Disabled : <asp:TextBox ID=”TextBox2″ runat=”server”
onKeyDown=”return DisableCtrlKey(event)”>
</asp:TextBox><br />
Copy and Paste Disabled: <asp:TextBox ID=”TextBox1″ runat=”server”
oncopy=”return false” onpaste=”return false” oncut=”return false”> </asp:TextBox>
</pre>
</form>
</body>
var buttonright = 2; // button right
function DisableRightClick(event)
{
//For mouse right click
if (event.button==buttonright)
{
alert(“Right Clicking not allowed!”);
}
}
</html>
Restrict Copy and Paste.js
function DisableCtrlKey(e)
{
var code = (document.all) ? event.keyCode:e.which;
var message = “Ctrl key functionality is disabled!”;// look for CTRL key press
if (parseInt(code)==17)
{
alert(message);
window.event.returnValue = false;
}
}
