How to suppress copying a component?

[munich]

Hello,

I would like to prevent the user from copying a certain component of a report in designer (via clipboard). How can this be done?

I use the designer calling StiReport.Design().

Thanks for any help.

Hi

Unfortunately that is not possible.

Thank you.

Dear Edward,

what a pity. I will try to find the copies and remove them when the user saves the report.

I thank you.

Hello,

Please check next prerelease build (25 Jan). New static events will be available:

Code: Select all

StiOptions.Engine.GlobalEvents.AllowCutOperation
StiOptions.Engine.GlobalEvents.AllowCopyOperation
StiOptions.Engine.GlobalEvents.AllowPasteOperation

Example of using:

Code: Select all

StiOptions.Engine.GlobalEvents.AllowCutOperation += delegate(object sender, Stimulsoft.Report.Events.StiAllowClipboardOperationEventArgs e)
            {
                if (e.Components.Count > 0 && e.Components[0] is StiText)
                    e.Allow = false;
            };

Thank you.

Dear Jan,

I just installed and checked prerelease from 25th January. The events AllowCopyOperation and AllowCutOperation are working fine. I thank you very much for that!

But the Event StiOptions.Engine.GlobalEvents.AllowPasteOperation is not fired. Neither I use Ctrl+V nor I use the according item in the ribbon bar of the designer.

What am I doing wrong?
