Disable Copy/Paste in a Textbox

[Nilesh Pat]

i want to Disable Copy/Paste in a Textbox in GWT.
as i am using password field and confirm password filed. User should not able to copy string from password filed to confirm password filed.

i am using PasswordTextBox for password filed.

i also want to do same for user id n confirm user id which are normal text boxes.

hey... password text box itself provides functionality to block copy from it.
but you can paste in it... so that's ok.

but the problem exists for normal text box. at least i should able to block paste in confirm text box.

hey i got the solution.
first write
sinkEvents( Event.ONPASTE );
in the constructor.

then write

public void onBrowserEvent( Event event )
	{
		super.onBrowserEvent( event );
		switch ( event.getTypeInt() )
		{
			case Event.ONPASTE :
			{
				event.stopPropagation();
				event.preventDefault();
				break;
			}
		}
	}
