Restrict the length of a pasted string

Hi, I have searched the forums but cant find the solution to what seems like a very silly problem; The user is only allowed to enter max 30 chars in a grid cell. I can handle the typing of chars in the CurrentCellKeyPress event, but when the user paste into the cell my length restriction gets bypassed. How do i interrupt the paste process so only the first 30 chars end up in the cell? regards Fredrik

Hi Fredrik, Try handling PasteCellText to strip off the extra characters. private void gridControl1_PasteCellText(object sender, GridPasteCellTextEventArgs e) { string s = e.Text; e.Text = s.Remove(30,(s.Length-30)); } Best regards, Stanley

Thanx for the answer Stanley, but the I don''t seem to get the PasteCellText event. I do get the ClipboardPaste though. regards Fredrik
