How can I use windows short cuts for Cut, Copy, and Paste with TDBGrid?

This will make cut, copy, and paste work in all situations.
You have to turn off short cuts in the Menu's properties
to use this correctly. My thanks to those that demonstrated it to me.


Code: 
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// CUT COPY AND PASTE FUNCTIONS: WORKS WITH GRID!
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void __fastcall TMainForm::Cut1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
   if(((dynamic_cast<TDBGrid *>(ActiveControl))
     &&(dynamic_cast<TDBGrid *>(ActiveControl)->EditorMode))
     &&(dynamic_cast<TInplaceEdit*>(ActiveControl->Controls[0])->SelLength > 0))
         ActiveControl->Controls[0]->Perform(WM_CUT, 0, 0);

   else ActiveControl->Perform(WM_CUT, 0, 0);
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void __fastcall TMainForm::Copy1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
   if(((dynamic_cast<TDBGrid *>(ActiveControl))
     &&(dynamic_cast<TDBGrid *>(ActiveControl)->EditorMode))
     &&(dynamic_cast<TInplaceEdit*>(ActiveControl->Controls[0])->SelLength > 0))
         ActiveControl->Controls[0]->Perform(WM_COPY, 0, 0);

   else ActiveControl->Perform(WM_COPY, 0, 0);
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void __fastcall TMainForm::Paste1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
   if ((dynamic_cast<TDBGrid *>(ActiveControl))
       && (dynamic_cast<TDBGrid *>(ActiveControl)->EditorMode))
            ActiveControl->Controls[0]->Perform(WM_PASTE, 0, 0);

   else ActiveControl->Perform(WM_PASTE, 0, 0);
}
