djeek Since 3/4/2004 Posts 5 Reputation 70 Reply djeek djeek (djeek) Posted: 3/25/2004 4:22 PM rated by 0 users I want to catch Ctrl-v with the KeyDown (and/or KeyPress) event so I can edit de keyboard before the paste. The editing proces is simple: with Clipboard.Gettext to a string variable and then clearing the clipboard followed by Clipboard.Settext the string. All Word- or HTML-**** is gone then! I tried the KeyDown event but running the program pasted the clipboardtext in my code!!!!! The KeyPreview of the form is true.Please help!?Code:Private Sub Form_KeyDown(keycode As Integer, Shift As Integer) Dim CB As String Exit Sub If keycode = 68 And Shift = 2 Then 'Ctrl-V (does not work in a input field in the Webbrowser Control) CB = Clipboard.GetText 'strip codes (Word/html) from clipboardtext via stringvariabele Clipboard.Clear Clipboard.SetText CB 'Put the stripped text back on the clipboard DoEvents SendKeys "^(v)", True 'Continue the paste proces keycode = 0 Shift = 0 End If End Sub

Difficult?!Your solution is not possible because other applications that are running has to use the clipboard too: with those applications I was copying before the paste action with my VB-app!
