Trap Paste event

[Matthew]

When a user types Ctrl.+V in one form, I would like to trap the event and do
something else.
Is this possible?

Set the form's KeyPreview property to true.

Enter the following event handler

Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
If e.Control And (e.KeyCode = Keys.V Or e.KeyCode = Keys.Insert)
Then
'Something pasted on the form.
End If
End Sub

That's it! Thank you, Scott.
