    "The TextBox control does not support shortcut keys"

    What??? What kind of foolishness is this?

    I have a VB.net app where it's true - No shortcut keys work in a textbox (Ctrl+C/X/V etc)

    I have a C#.net app where (with shortcutsEnabled=true) Ctrl+C/X/V all work, but Ctrl+A doesnt. Are microsoft lying? half lying? do they know what they are on about?


    TextBox is derived from TextBoxBase, which implements the Clipboard functionality..So why would TextBox switch it off again and microsoft say so in msdn (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...ed(VS.80).aspx)

    Further - why disable this useful and integral part of windows functionality in something as basic as a textbox - As far as i know, the you cant set RichTextBox as a design type in the datasources window before you drag something out of it.. so does this mean that all microsoft apps that are databound, that are generated by wizard, lack basic clipboard functionality?

    This is so unbelievably.. unbelievable! Does anyone know a solution?
