Remarks

Creating custom code to enable the Paste command requires several steps.

  1. Set the event object IHTMLEventObj::returnValue to FALSE in the HTMLSelectElementEvents::onbeforepaste event to enable the Paste shortcut menu item.
  2. Cancel the default behavior of the client by setting the event object IHTMLEventObj::returnValue to FALSE in the HTMLSelectElementEvents::onpaste event handler. This applies only to objects, such as the text box, that have a default behavior defined for them.
  3. Specify a data format in which to paste the selection through the IHTMLDataTransfer::getData method of the clipboardData object.
  4. Invoke the method in the HTMLSelectElementEvents::onpaste event to execute custom paste code.

To invoke this event, do one of the following:

  • Right-click to display the shortcut menu and select Paste.
