Hi Mario
Do you have a code snippet showing how to do this. I am a bit confused because you say use Bar# in a menu but later say your app uses no menu at all.

>>Hi All,
>>
>> anyone have a solution to this problem? We're trying to put Basic Copy/Paste functionality into a bespoke command group to mimic the Ctrl C / Ctrl X / Ctrl V functions of the FoxPro memu. If a user selects a piece of text in a textbox, either with the mouse or Shift Arrow or Ctrl A, we need to be able to avtivate or deactivate the Copy button based on whether a piece of text is selected or not in the current textbox.

We first tried putting in an assign method on the SelLength property, but this isn't fired is it's the user who changes the length of the selected text. I thought of trapping Key presses and mouse events (MouseUp?), and even using a timer à la Ken Levy, but it seems a bit heavy going, especially since this is going to go into a base textbox class for the project.
