How can I make an edit box so that you can't past anything into it but you can edit it? 
and   
How can I make a script do something if text is pasted into an edit field?  |

| Crude: add Control+p and Shift+Insert as hotkeys to the script, and block the execution of the "Paste" if the Edit control is focussed. |

Maybe use ControlGetFocus and empty the clipboard when that control is in focus.
| Code: | ControlGetFocus, OutputVar, Untitled - Notepad
if ErrorLevel
return
else
clipboard = |
might work. I have not tested this though.

maybe you can find some way to detect the paste then undo it?
a built in function of an edit control is to allow paste. it's hard to remove. If you find some documentation on msdn, you may be able to apply it to making a custom control, or modifying the control in a custom way.

one method to do this is to check the contents of the edit field (controlgettext) then, if the length of that string increases by more than, say 5, characters over a 50ms interval, then revert the field contents to what it was previously.

The real question is are you working with a window with just one edit field that you would like to do this with, or one with multiple edit fields and you want the change to apply to just one of those edit fields?
And to address both questions, what program would you be using?
