Cut And Paste problem

I have a problem that involves cutting and pasting into a text box. I have a TextBox_change function that doesn't get called when i use cut and paste. My question is, how do i catch the use of the cut and paste option so that my program can do what it needs to do when the contents of the text box are changed by ANY method?

Thanx all in advance.

The Change event should always fire when text is pasted into a textbox.

The Textbox_Change event is fired whenever a EN_CHANGE message is fired. Since the message responds to any textbox change (including cut and paste), it will fire on paste.

Boy is my face red! This should be a warning to me to do a LOT more testing on my code. The problem turned out to have nothing to do with the text box, but with the code i had running to test it. I was highlighting the ENTIRE contents of the text box and pressing delete, and it wasn't updating another form i was using. That was because of the code i called on TextBox_change rather than textbox change not being called.

Thanx for all the help on this anyway.

You can use also toolbars Cut,Copy ans Paste buttons this way:

VB Code:

Private Sub Toolbar1_ButtonClick(ByVal Button As MSComctlLib.Button)
   
   Select Case LCase(Button.Key)
    Case "cut"
      If TypeOf Me.ActiveControl Is TextBox Then
         Clipboard.SetText Me.ActiveControl.SelText
         Me.ActiveControl.SelText = ""
      End If
    Case "copy"
      If TypeOf Me.ActiveControl Is TextBox Then
         Clipboard.SetText Me.ActiveControl.SelText
      End If
    Case "paste"
      If TypeOf Me.ActiveControl Is TextBox Then
         Me.ActiveControl.SelText = Clipboard.GetText()
      End If
    End Select
    
End Sub
