how to disable pasting in one of the gwt textbox

Question

I have two textboxes and i want to just disable one of them from pasting anything. I have tried

 sinkEvents( Event.ONPASTE ); 

but it disables both of the textboxes from pasting.

Try to create a custom TextBox wherein you have to override onBrowserEvent function.

public TextInput() {
    super();

    sinkEvents( Event.ONPASTE );
}

@Override
public void onBrowserEvent(Event event) {
    super.onBrowserEvent( event );

    switch (DOM.eventGetType(event)) {
        case Event.ONPASTE:
            event.preventDefault();
            break;
    }
}
