An application sends a WM_CUT message to an edit control or combo box to delete (cut) the current selection, if any, in the edit control and copy the deleted text to the clipboard in CF_TEXT format.
WM_CUT wParam = 0; // not used; must be zero lParam = 0; // not used; must be zero
This message has no parameters.
This message does not return a value.
The deletion performed by the WM_CUT message can be undone by sending the edit control an EM_UNDO message.
To delete the current selection without placing the deleted text on the clipboard, use the WM_CLEAR message.
When sent to a combo box, the WM_CUT message is handled by its edit control. This message has no effect when sent to a combo box with the CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style.
EM_UNDO, WM_CLEAR, WM_COPY, WM_PASTE
