How to restrict the copy & paste in string control?

[Ben]

It appears I was not clear with my hint.

The copy and paste can be shutdown on an individual control.

Just delete the copy option from the short-cut for the password Control.

Hi Ben,

            I am using Labview 7.1 .Any other method to do this in Labview 7.1?

                                  Thank u for ur post.

Don't want to upgrade eh?

Well what about this.

When ever a short cut is invoked (ctrl-c for example) the event fires and then I check if the password string control has key focus. If so, I discard the event.

Thanks  Ben !

It is working well in my application.

Just an FYI, this does not prevent the (SHIFT+INSERT) paste.  Some of those savvy linux users may be able to bypass the above VI.  This can be prevented by using the combination of the Key Down? and Key Repeat? events for VKey = Insert and PlatMods.Shift

This is a perfectly viable UI "change".  You'll find in most secure applications/websites that you are not allowed to paste into a password box.  Try it next time you log into Windows (assuming you use it).

I think you only have come closer to the point.
