Paste as plain text

[Euan]

Hi,

I'm trying to intercept the paste event when the user has pressed control -v, to paste the clipboard contents as plain text.
But I can't work out where to start ?

Thanks
Euan

Hi Euan,

Thank you for writing.

To intercept and change the default behaviour of the Ctrl+V key combination you can use the following custom InputBehavior class: 

class MyInputBeaviour : InputBehavior
{
    public MyInputBeaviour(DocumentView view) : base(view)
    {
    }

    protected override bool ProcessKeyDownCore(KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Control && e.KeyCode == Keys.V)
        {

            RadDocument document = this.DocumentView.Document;
            document.Insert((string)Clipboard.GetData("Text"), new StyleDefinition());
            e.SuppressKeyPress = true;
            return false;
        }
        else
        {
            return base.ProcessKeyDownCore(e);
        }
    }
}

Then you just need to change the default behaviour with the new one:

radRichTextBox1.RichTextBoxElement.ViewElement.DocumentView.InputBehavior = new MyInputBeaviour(doc.DocumentView);

I hope this will be useful. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.
