How can insert my own menu items into the standard Textbox Contextmenu? I want to use all the "Copy", "Paste", "Cut" functions from the standard Textbox Contextmenu, but I also want to have some other functions in the Contextmenu written by myself. I use VB.net. Please help me.

go to the toolbox and double click contextmenu.
at the top of the program you will see contextmenu in blue
(just as if you were adding a mainmenu)
create your context menu (copy paste and whatever else you want)
go to the properties window for the textbox you want.
in the contextmenu click the down arrow and you should see the new contextmenu that you added. choose it.
that should do it.
hope this helps.

Michelle, that does not really answer the question asked ... the "Default" context menu for a textbox is handled by windows, not VB. when you add your own it replaces the windows version, and you have to add all the functionality yourself. At present I know of know way to 'keep' the 'default' menu.

Somtimes, the easy answer is the hardest to find.

There is no way to keep the default menu and add items to it. You would need to create a context menu and add Copy Paste etc... to it.
I think I have some code somewhere to do this if you need it.

Has anyone heard of a book that compares Visual Basic to AS400/RPG? As a long time RPG Programmer, I am really struggling with some of the Visual Basic concepts? I found a book called "C for the RPG Programmer" but haven't been able to find anything for Visual Basic. Any ideas?
