Why don’t you override the task method on the form? You can reset the control as null if the task id is 772 which is Ctrl + V ---

What exactly are you trying to achieve? Making the field read-only? Or do you want to allow users to type in values manually but not copying them from somewhere else? That would achieve nothing except of reducing their productivity… ---

Why do you consider typing safer than copying the password from a password manager? Don’t you think that it’s actually safer if users don’t have to write passwords in front of other users and that using password managers allow them to use stronger and unique passwords? Many security experts do think so. ---

Hi martin. Thanks for your suggested. But I have another similar request. User have a field with name ID and they wanr to re-confirm that field in another field with name Re-confirmation ID. So field Re-confirmation ID not allow copying from somewhere else. ---

Logic or safety, doesn’t always beat customer policies. Same as with password changes every x days. Most still have it, even though it has been proven to make passwords less secure, than using a longer password which is more memorable.

Regarding your problem with task(), can you explain what you did and what you mean by " it’s not work"? ---

I don’t think your method will be called at all. I’m not sure whether what you want is either a good idea or technically possible, therefore I wouldn’t waste much time with it if I was you.
