Disable Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C

Hello Experts

I need to disable the ability of users to select and copy text in a Rich Text Control using Ctrl-A and Ctrl-C.

How do I go about this?

Many thanks

Thank you webtubbs. Worked first time.

BTW. It is good to see a moderator remind a contributor that a submission should add value to the question and should also address specifics such as programming language. Too many times you see a question asking for a response in (e.g.) VB.Net only to find loads of answers in some other language.
