Create a form that contains text boxes, combo boxes, list boxes, and pictures boxes (however many you want, but at least one of each). Add a menu structure as follows:

• File
  • Exit
• Edit
  • Cut
  • Copy
  • Paste
  • Delete

  Cut should be associated with CTRL-X, Copy with CTRL-C, and Paste with CTRL-V.

  Write the code for the Cut, Copy, and Paste selections, so that they work as expected. You'll have to use the TypeOf operator with Screen.ActiveControl, as shown below:

  If TypeOf Screen.ActiveControl Is TextBox Then Clipboard.SetText Screen.ActiveControl.SelText ElseIf TypeOf Screen.ActiveControl Is ComboBox Then Clipboard.SetText Screen.ActiveControl.Text End If

  You'll have to fill it in for PictureBox and ListBox, and figure out exactly how each routine is organized.

  Extra Improvements:

  1. Add a "Clear" selection to the Edit menu, which will clear the clipboard contents.
  2. Add a "Display" selection to the Edit menu, which will pop up another form that displays the current contents of the clipboard. Assume you'll only be displaying text.
  3. Improve the "Display" item by adding a PictureBox to the display form, and using it to display the clipboard contents when appropriate.
