Is there a TextBox.Paste Event equivalent in Eto.Forms?
I need to handle a multiline or comma-separated string that is pasted and then distributed over multiple textboxes.
Hey @timkado,
No there is no Paste event (and there isn’t one in Windows Forms either). You need to handle the KeyDown event and specifically handle the keystroke, or better yet, use the TextInput event, and do something like the following:
myTextBox.TextInput += (sender, e) => {
// more than one character is usually from pasting or drag/drop text into the control
if (e.Text?.Length > 1) {
var text = e.Text;
// format text
myTextBox.SelectedText = text;
e.Cancel = true; // prevent the text from being pasted
}
}
Hope this helps!
