  • Can anybody provide me shortcut keys for copy,cut,paste in Combobox????

  • A combobox has two pieces - a regular edit box and and a drop down list box. The edit box should respond to the regular shortcut keys for edit boxes:



    CTRL+X Cut

    CTRL+C Copy

    CTRL+V Paste

    CTRL+A Select All

    CTRL+Z Paste



    The listbox usually cannot be edited, although new AutoComplete-style dropdowns sometimes respond to the DEL key to remove the entry.



    This is standard behavior for the built-in, Windows-provided controls. Applications may provide their own custom controls that look similar, but act differently. Even if using the Windows-provided controls, application may disable or ignore some behaviors.

  • Thanks for sending the information. I want a drop down list box's short cut. if not then can anyone help me to copy a selected item in the clipboard.
