The FXTable, like most widgets, dispatch the SEL_CLIPBOARD_REQUEST
message to their target first, then, if not handled, handle it
themselves by putting up the clipped data to the requestor.

Thus, handling the request, you can opt to return nothing.  This
will basically disable "pasting out" of the widget.

This may not be the best method: you're still telling the other
application that you have a selection, and what types they can
be supplied.

It may be better to intercept the ID_COPY_SEL and ID_CUT_SEL
to prevent FXTable from even trying to own the clipboard.

If the table is not supposed to be editable, there are methods
to do that.  I assume this is not what you're asking for.
