Rob, I think your contribution "Impossible. Anyone can copy any text simply by typing it into Notepad." Was really not very well thought out.
The question was not whether someone can use notepad to copy text to the clipboard. The question was whether the memo component used in a Delphi program can be controlled so that text displayed On it, cannot be copied to the clipboard. As strange as it may seem to you, access to notepad.exe and or any other standard windows/other vendor supplied application can easily be controlled using policies and the registry. I develop systems that use the policies and the registry to do just that. So assuming that notepad is available and that the text in question is text that some has to type in, is really a poor assumption. The text that the developer wants to display could have been the results of database query or the contents of a Protected email for example. Many people have contributed valid and well thought out practical solutions to this problem and it's actually quiet arrogant and insulting and to all these people to post a reply like you did. You owe everyone an apology.
