Add CTRL+C and CTRL+V triggers to the field that just RETURN NO-APPLY. I think that should do it. Not tested though.

Yes. As [mention:77cbb45621a246f9a1a1f2f378e535b1:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] said, RETURN NO-APPLY works. Default behavior is suppressed by NO-APPLY

Thanks guys, but i wanna to know is there any way to capture Event(Mouse/Keyboard events) for particular field so that we can disable it.

Like we have in JavaScript, we can write code snippet for password field which not allow to copy/paste for particular field and rendering only following '********'.

A FILL-IN allows you to specify it is a password field. It's a property of the widget. You can still copy and paste though, so you need to do what I suggested to block that.

Actually I am bit curious to learn new things so here, What about the case where we had a char variable as text field in form design part and want to disable that text field for copy/paste.

Not sure I understand your question. How are you meant to select the text to copy/paste in the first place?
