Example

[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example uses TextBox, a derived class. It provides Click event handlers for MenuItem objects that perform Cut, Copy, Paste, and Undo operations. This example assumes that a TextBox control named textBox1 has been created.

[Visual Basic]
Private Sub Menu_Copy(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs)
   ' Ensure that text is selected in the text box.  
   If textBox1.SelectionLength > 0 Then
       ' Copy the selected text to the Clipboard.
       textBox1.Copy()
   End If
End Sub

Private Sub Menu_Cut(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs)
   ' Ensure that text is currently selected in the text box.  
   If textBox1.SelectedText <> "" Then
       ' Cut the selected text in the control and paste it into the Clipboard.
       textBox1.Cut()
   End If
End Sub
