disable copying from textarea without disabling it

Getting Started

Dear all,

does someone know how to disable copying from the textarea without disabling it?
If I disable it, the textarea is grayed out. I need it to look normal, but without the user being able to copy text from it.

Thanks

2

paint it the way you want inside a canvas ?

3

send the focus somewhere else in the gotfocus event… no focus no copy

Jean-Yves, I’ll give that a try. Never thought about using the canvas for this.

thanks

5

Implement your own EditCopy file menu handler?

Dave and Christian’s ideas are better than mine.
