Copy Paste Function

[BD]

I would like to use the keyboard shortcut 'ctrl + v' to paste from the
clipboard. I can't seem to figure out how to capture the keyboard
input to accomplish this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

BD

What are you pasting to? I believe Ctrl-V works for textual input on
controls that include such.

In an inherited control you usually override ProcessCmdKey and check the
input and clipboard there.

That is what I thought. I would have to process a keydown event and
link it to a keypress event without typing the letter v. How would I
code for that?

I am pasting to multi-line textbox control.

Uhm, no you don't, KeyDown is enough.

private void control_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Control && e.KeyCode == Keys.V)
{
//Do your stuff here
}
}

So I'm guessing that this is not in an inherited control then but rather
from any general control?

Sorry for replying so late, my visual studio crashed. Yes it is just
a general control (multi line textbox). What I was trying to do was
ctrl-C from another program (say email) and do ctrl-v in my C#
application. I will try the above. I was successful at trapping the
ctrl key and pasting but that breaks routine for what is generally
done. Don't want to confuse my users any more than they are, ha ha.
