Cut, Copy and Paste

[bjoernlueders]

Is there a way to get control over the ContextMenu (cut, copy and paste) from "outside" (i.e. a menu)?

What do you mean by "control", i. e. what do you want to achieve?

[bjoernlueders]

I want to apply an "edit"-menu with the items cut, copy and paste.

I see. Well, the context menu is provided by the system, so it's difficult if not impossible (I don't know a way to do it) to reuse it.

Sorry that I didn't google better at first:

Now it's working.

I knew about these messages, but didn't name them, because you still should check whether there is something to copy/cut/delete (i.e. there is text selected) or whether the control can handle the data contained in the clipboard and there are no messages like WM_CANCOPY or WM_CANPASTE. So these messages alone are not very helpful in my opinion.
