Use Clipboard...

Hi...
Like Sawamura said using clipboard
Try this following procedure, u can call in any event :

Private Sub Cut()
    If Me.Textbox1.Text.Length > 0 Then
        Clipboard.SetDataObject(Me.Textbox1.SelectedText)
        Me.Textbox1.Cut()
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Copy()
    If Me.Textbox1.Text.Length > 0 Then
        Me.Textbox1.Copy()
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Paste()
    If Clipboard.GetDataObject.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Text) Then
        Me.Textbox1.Paste()
    End If
End Sub
