how to react to CTRL+V in TextArea?

[Guest]

I want to immediately do something when someone pastes something using CTRL+V
into my TextArea... isn't there a specific event I can handle for this? Or do
I have to do a keyboard event and check for those keys? If so, then won't the
event trigger BEFORE the text is actually pasted? I need to use the pasted
text in my event...

Hello MrNobody,

Add KeyDown handler for your text area and use code below

private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Control && e.KeyCode==Keys.V)
{
MessageBox.Show("pasted");
}
}
