Question

When I double-click a LinkLabel in WindowsForms it copies its text; how can I prevent this?

BTW, it’s a .Net 2.0 application, if that makes any difference.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can always clear the clipboard using :

Clipboard.Clear();

Update :

You can use this code in mouse double click event.

Try this :

private void linkLabel1_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        Clipboard.Clear();
    }

Update 2 :

Use these following codes it won’t copy value of linklable and also it keeps your clipboard. you must use these codes with mouse enter event and mouse double click event.

Try this :

public string str;

    private void linkLabel1_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        str = Clipboard.GetText();
        linkLabel1.MouseDoubleClick+=new MouseEventHandler(linkLabel1_MouseDoubleClick);
    }

    private void linkLabel1_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        Clipboard.SetText(str);
    }
