Hi DuVall,
Thanks for the response! My event loop is the same way as the one is
working. I even make a new project from OS 3.5 stationery then add a field
to the main menu and a edit menu with those shortcut key. It is strange that
when i select some text in the field and do a shortcut C, the toolbar status
shows a copy command. But when I want to do a paste then, there is not paste
icon on the toolbar which means there is no text was copied before. Do i
need to do any extra thing after I have a edit menu plus some shortcut keys
to handle the cut/copy/paste/keyboard command in the a field?
Anyway, thanks a again for your kindly response!
Regards,
Yan
