To copy text to the clip board use _ClipText. For example to put the string "Hello into the clip board use the following:
_ClipText = "Hello"

To extract information form the clipboard use the following
ClipboardContents = _ClipText

Just put the appropiate code behind your buttons and you shouldn't have a problem.

Hi FoxJunior,

In the Create a New Menu, but make it a "Shortcut" menu. Then, add these 4 options in the menu builder:

Prompt Result Options
CUT BAR # _MED_CUT
COPY BAR # _MED_COPY
PASTE BAR # _MED_PASTE
UNDO BAR # _MED_UNDO

Save the menu, and call it something like "EDITMENU"

Then, on any control that you want to use these options, in the control's "RightClick" method, put in:

DO EDITMENU.MPR

That will present & let you use the items, as they do in Fox, on your menu.
