Specifies a menu item that cuts selected text from a control and places it on the Windows Clipboard.

Property of

MenuBar

Description

The editCutMenu property contains a reference to a menu object users select when they want to cut text.

You can use the editCutMenu property of a form's menubar to cut (delete) selected text and place it on the Windows Clipboard from any edit control in the form, instead of using the control's cut( ) method. In effect, editCutMenu calls cut( ) for the active control. This lets you provide a way to copy text with less programming than would otherwise be needed. The Cut menu item is automatically disabled when no text is selected and enabled when text is selected.
