>The easiest way to do this is to add the items to your edit menu (this is also the Windows standard). Create a new menu and choose Quick Menu. The go to the edit menu and see what's there. Just put the same items on your edit menu (with Bar# as the action and the appropriate bar as done by quick menu).

>>We have a distributed app written in FPW 2.6 that I would like to enabled Ctrl+C,X,Z cut, copy, and paste. I have noticed that in the FPW IDE you can use these keys, but in our app they do not work. Is this because we are not using the default system menu? Does anyone know how to enable this functionality in FPW 2.6 in an easy manner.

Paul,
If you don't want a menu with Cut, Copy & paste, you can define a popup with these bars and never activate it. Be sure to define the hot keys as Crtl+C, etc in the DEFINE BAR OF statement and you will be able to cut, copy and paste with no menu visible to the user.
Of course, this goes against normal Windows procedure which dictate that you should have an Edit menu available when you have text, but sometimes I have apps with no menu bar across the top at all and the "invisible" menu works fine.
David.
