c# - Pasting into multiple text boxes

Question

I have a .net application which includes search screen which has a panel with has three text boxes, each with a varying character lengths.

What I'd like to do is capture when the paste command when invoked from the first box and paste my clipboard into the three boxes.

This functionality is similar to many modern applications accepting input for serial keys and phone numbers.

Answer 1

Capture the paste event:

protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) {
    // Did paste occur?
    if (m.Msg == 0x302) {
        //Paste occurred, add your logic here
    }
    base.WndProc(ref m);
}

Then, access the Clipboard object to get the desired text.
