Hi, I have had success by subclassing listboxes and implementing the menu handlers in the class. This has been a very reliable solution for me.
Simply create a Listbox class that contains menu handlers for the desired Edit Menu items. You can then define Event Definitions that are called by those menu handlers, and put the desired code into the subclass's relevant Events.
