How to inhibit pasting with button 2 (wheel button) on Linux [message #727111]

Hi,

I used a StyledText to implement a command line, thus the user is allowed to modify only the last line.
My problem is that a click on the "wheel button" paste the content of the clipboard under the mouse cursor and I don't know how to avoid that (there is no "doit" field in MouseEvent class).

Thanks in advance,
H.ORTIZ

How are you stopping keyboard input ?
You should be using a verify listener, and that should stopping the mouse wheel.
See http://www.eclipse.org/articles/StyledText%201/article1.html

I suspect, the paste you are getting is coming from handleMouseUp():
//paste clipboard selection
if (event.button == 2) {
String text = (String)getClipboardContent(DND.SELECTION_CLIPBOARD);
if (text != null && text.length() > 0) {
// position cursor
doMouseLocationChange(event.x, event.y, false);
// insert text
Event e = new Event();
e.start = selection.x;
e.end = selection.y;
e.text = getModelDelimitedText(text);
sendKeyEvent(e);
}
}

Verify should be working ?
