Is there any way (for example, in the design of the database - such as StdR8Mail) to prevent screen captures? We had an instance where a user performed a screen capture of very sensitive information sent to him in an e-mail and then pasted that information into a new message and sent it to people who should never have seen the information. No, we cannot take away copy and paste functionality because we do use it. Any ideas?
Thank you.

No. A lot of us would like to be able to do that. Thing is, this isn’t something Notes can control. Because the operating system is doing the screen capture, not Notes.
Even if you could tell the OS “don’t allow screen capture within Notes”, all you’d have to do is open another window in front of Notes, resize it so that what you want in Notes shows behind, and do the screen capture. Because the other program would have focus, and therefore the OS would allow the capture.
And don’t even get me started on cameraphones.

Intercept the message via win32api - RegisterHotKey
You can read about it with sample code on the link below.
However, This is probably just a workaround, there are better dedicated products to prevent information leakage.

…since if someone with bad intentions really wants to capture the info, a simple digital camera will do the job pretty well (even more handy, the one likely to be included in his mobile phone).So my advice is: don’t waste your time with this. If someone is not reliable, don’t expose the info to him at all, if he has to see the info, disclosure this is a matter of professional deontology.
