I have and Issue where I have set a Textbox.ReadOnly = TRUE and it does stop you from typing into the field. But it also allows for you to Paste into it still. I saw that MS had fixed this type of issue in VS12, but have they reintroduce it back in? I
don't want to use the ShortCutsEnabled = FALSE as that effects the whole Page and not just the Field I am concerned with. I am in VS17 using VB. When I Right-Click and the Context Menu drops down, Cut and Paste are not listed as options, yet Ctrl-V will
effect the field.
Public Overrides Sub DisableControl()
TextControl.ReadOnly = True
TextControl.Attributes.Add("onpaste", "return false;")
End Sub
When you call the DisableControl method? According to your code, I create a sample using the following code, it seems that every thing works well.
The TextBox1 could use Ctrl+V, and the TextBox2 could not use it.
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
TextBox2.ReadOnly = True
TextBox2.Attributes.Add("onpaste", "return false;")
End Sub
I suggest you could use F12 develop tools to check the html element attribute and make sure the readonly and onpaste attributes are exist.

According to your code, I have created a sample and the screenshot as below:
As we can see that if we set the readonly attribute, we could not use Ctrl+V. I also test it on IE and Google browser, both of them could not use Ctrl+V.
So, I suggest you could try to use Ctrl+F5 to refresh the page and test it again. And you could also use F12 develop tools to check whether it contains some error.
Besides, you could also try to create a new page to test this part of code, and use different browser.

I am beginning to think this is a Chrome issue. When looking in F12(Developer Mode) I don't see any errors, When I press F5 the fields that were blanked out are refilled back in with their values. When I save to exit the screen the data is unchanged,
Its almost like the "TextControl.ReadOnly = True" and "TextControl.Attributes.Add("onpaste", "return false;")" are being ignored.
With the way this is written: TextControl.Attributes.Add("onpaste", "return false;"), Do I need a function in JavaScript for onpaste? If I do where do I put it? I am guessing that the return false is answering the onpaste call directly.
Please check your code, it contains a spelling mistake. Please modify it as below:
onpause="return false;"

Here we are in 2017 and this is still an issue one way or another across the board.
All I want is for the Browsers to behave correctly if you set a entry field to read only, it should be just that. I now have Chrome working, but Firefox is still acting the same. If a field is readonly why would you accept a paste to that field? I have
found threads going back close to 13 years for this type of issue. Why do I need a special Script for each browser for something it should all ready do, not change a field that is read only? Are their people that make fields readonly and then allow you to
paste into them?

You could try disabling copy paste using jquery
$(function () { $(document).on("cut copy paste", "#YourTextboxControlID", function (e) { e.preventDefault(); }); });Change the textbox control id as per your design.
You can find a discussion on same topic here

If you change the id to your textbox then it will disable copy paste for that textbox only
<script> $(function () { $(document).on("cut copy paste", "#Textbox1", function (e) { e.preventDefault(); }); }); </script>complete Code
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.0.js"></script> <script> $(function () { $(document).on("cut copy paste", "#Textbox1", function (e) { e.preventDefault(); }); }); </script> </head> <body> You cannot copy paste on this textbox <input type="text" name="" id="Textbox1" readonly="readonly" > <br/> You can copy paste on this textbox<input type="text" name="" id="Textbox3"> </body> </html>

If you want to access only readonly textbox then you can use below code
<script> $(function() { $('input[type=text][readonly]').on("cut copy paste", function(e) { e.preventDefault(); }); }); </script>Complete Code
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.0.js"></script> <script> $(function() { $('input[type=text][readonly]').on("cut copy paste", function(e) { e.preventDefault(); }); }); </script> </head> <body> You cannot copy paste on this textbox <input type="text" name="" id="Textbox1" readonly="readonly"> <input type="text" name="" id="Textbox2" readonly="readonly"> <br/> You can copy paste on this textbox <input type="text" name="" id="Textbox3"> </body> </html>Aje

I have never used jquery in conjunction with VB
Public Overrides Sub DisableControl()
TextControl.ReadOnly = True
TextControl.Attributes.Add("onpaste", "return false;")
End Sub
one thing that I think I have notice is that even if it is changed and you click save the field changed is not updated.

I tried something different this time
TextControl.ReadOnly = True TextControl.Attributes.Add("onpaste", "return false;") TextControl.Attributes.Add("onkeydown", "DontAllowPaste()")It now works as expected, but I believe that the onPaste does nothing for me. and I will try to remove it.
the generated fields now look like this:
The readonly="readonly" does make me wonder what might be happening since the standard is suppose to be "readonly", making the "="readonly"" ignored.

This one seems to be out of left field? I am trying to stop Ctrl-V, Pasting into an element.
https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/event_onpaste.asp
I am not trying to Pause something
https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/event_onpause.asp
This is where onpaste was explained, but I must have missed something.
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/disable-copypasteright-click-using-javascript-in-asp-net-textbox1
I did not find onpaste to work at all, so I removed it and checked for onkeydown="DontAllowPaste()"
function DontAllowPaste() { if (event.ctrlKey) { if (event.keyCode == 86) { event.returnValue = ''; return false; } } }SO I am considering this to be solved.
