Enable copy, cut, past window in a rich text box

Question

I have a rich text box(richTextBox1) in my program as shown bellow. But when I right click on it, it doesn\'t pop up a “copy, cut, past” window. Can you please tell

Answer 1

I think the solution provided by Thilina H is excellent except few bugs.

1. MouseUp event causes the right click to start after second click. I recommend using MouseDown event instead of MouseUp event.

2. I tested secondly provided CopyAction method. In my case CopyAction method didn't copy enter characters. I had to edit the code like this:

   Clipboard.SetText(richTextBox1.SelectedText.Replace("\n", "\r\n"));
   

3. When richTextBox1.SelectedText is empty the program showed an exception. I simply edited the CopyAction method shown by below to fix the issue.

       if (chatBox.SelectedText != null && chatBox.SelectedText != "")
       {
           Clipboard.SetText(richTextBox1.SelectedText.Replace("\n", "\r\n"));
       }
   

Happy Coding!
