## Notes

Remarks

Creating custom code for pasting requires several steps:

  1. Set event.returnValue=false in the onbeforepaste event to enable the Paste shortcut menu item.
  2. Cancel the default behavior of the client by including event.returnValue=false in the onpaste event handler. This guideline applies only to objects, such as the text box, that have a defined default behavior.
  3. Specify a data format in which to paste the selection through the getData method.
  4. Invoke the getData method in the onpaste event to execute custom code for pasting.

None. To invoke this event, do one of the following:

  • Right-click to display the shortcut menu and select Paste.
  • Or press CTRL+V.
