Question

How do I intercept a paste event in an editbox, possibly before the value is transferred to the object?

Answer 1

Look up subclassing windows.

Answer 2

If you subclass then intercept the WM_PASTE message you can do what you want, throw the message away to prevent the paste, manipulate the clipboard data, whatever.

Answer 3

Subclass the edit box and handle the WM_PASTE message.
