Hi,

I added a Copy menu item to the main menu and assigned a short
cut key of control c to it. It worked as expected.

mnuCopy.Shortcut = Shortcut.CtrlC

ken
Private Sub mnItemCopier_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal
e As System.EventArgs) Handles mnItemCopier.Click
mnItemCopier.Shortcut = Shortcut.CtrlC
End Sub

this is not enough to copy ! ?? you need a SendKeys.Send("^c") ??? no ?

Hi,

You would need code in the menu items click event to copy the info
to the clipboard.
