disable context menu for text boxes

[Henrik]

Hi,

If one right-clicks in a text box, a context menu is
displayed with the usual options (cut, copy, paste et.c.).
Is there any way to disable this?
I have my own textbox like this:

public class MyTextBox : System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
{
public MyTextBox()
{
this.ContextMenu = null;
}

....
}

However, this doesn't work. It works fine for forms though
(setting it to null removes the menu).

Is there any other way to do it?


Thanks,

Henrik

Set it to an empty context menu:

ContextMenu contextMenu1 = new ContextMenu();
textBox1.ContextMenu = contextMenu1;

Override the control's 'WndProc' and listen for 'WM_CONTEXTMENU'.
