We have a Silverlight app that contains a grid, and we've added support for selecting multiple cells, copying their contents to the clipboard, and pasting back elsewhere in the grid. Currently the user invokes the Copy and Paste commands by either clicking a toolbar button inside our Silverlight app, or using the standard keyboard shortcuts, which we catch with a KeyDown event.
Is it possible to also hook into the browser's native Edit menu, and the Cut, Copy, Paste, etc. menu items that are built into the browser? For example, can the user drop down the Firefox button (or press Alt+E to drop down the classic Edit menu), click the Copy item in Firefox's menu, and have some sort of Copy command be relayed to the focused control in my Silverlight app? Same thing for the equivalent menus in IE, Chrome, Opera, etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if this can't be done, since even long-established browser plug-ins like Adobe Reader have their own buttons for copy/paste and even print, rather than hooking into the browser's native menus. But I've never programmed to a browser's plug-in model, so I don't know for sure what's possible.

How to enable paste feature in ag-grid cell with in textbox. I have tried with Ctrl+V and also with right click Paste fuctionality but it is show disabled.
As stated in AG-Grid documentation here
The 'paste' operation in the context menu is not possible and hence
always disabled. It is not possible because of a browser security
restriction that Javascript cannot take data from the clipboard
without the user explicitly doing a paste command from the browser (eg
Ctrl+V or from the browser menu). If Javascript could do this, then
websites could steal data from the client via grabbing from the
clipboard maliciously. The reason why ag-Grid keeps the paste in the
menu as disabled is to indicate to the user that paste is possible and
it provides the shortcut as a hint to the user. This is also why the
API cannot copy from clipboard.
So you can't use the paste functionality from the context menu unfortunately.
However the Ctrl + V should work.
I am needing to use the DotNetBrowserControl inside of another application (I am an add-in in the application). The application is written in WPF and has some WinForms components.
When I try to use the WPFBrowserView in the app I can never get focus to go into the Browser Window at all (even when clicking on a the google search box for example).
When I try to use the WinformsBrowserView inside of a WindowsFormsHost control I am able to get focus into the google search box by clicking on it. However once I click focus out of the browser control (to a WPF textbox for example) I can never get Keyboard focus back into the browser (even when clicking on a textbox in the browser).
It seams I am closest on getting the WInformsBrowserView working. Does anyone have any advice on how to force focus into the browser window? Even if I could programmatically force this to happen it would be a huge help.
We have implemented force focus feature for DotNetBrowser, but it is not yet present in the current version. We plan to add it to the next version of DotNetBrowser. If you need a build with this feature present, please get in touch with us via DotNetBrowser support email, and we will provide you with a preview build.
The question is already asked in below link
i can't see a context menu of WPF windows app through VNC
But my requirements are slightly differ from it.
When I run my application in vnc viewer, and click on start menu from vnc toolbar and back to my application, right click on textbox does not show context menu like, copy, paste, cut.
Then, when i go task manager, right click on my application, and do "bring to front", then everything is working fine.
So I just want to know what is happening while clicking on vnc toolbar button, will take my application's focus back.
Thanks,

I’m trying to deploy a CSS3-based horizontal navigation menu on a still-under-construction site I’m working on.
Hover or mouseover one of the menu’s titles and a drop-down menu appears. Move the mouse off of the title, or off of the list of dropdown items, and the menu collapses. So, the dropdown list of items stays open as long as it can ‘see’ the mouse pointer.
The menu features containers that allow for the presentation of content from the site, or even other sites. E.g., it can display images or entire webpages. I’m attempting to display an object created with Microsoft’s Silverlight platform. The object is embedded on another page of my site and, via php include, it plays well with the menu in all browsers I’ve tested it on … except Microsoft Internet Explorer 9. (Haven't tried IE10 yet.)
In the IE9 case, the Silverlight object appears as expected, but the dropdown menu collapses as soon as the mouse touches the displayed Silverlight object. I.e., the CSS3 menu loses sight of the mouse and the dropdown collapses the moment the mouse pointer touches the Silverlight object.
I haven't been able to find much in the way of help for this one.
Any thoughts or guidance are much appreciated. Thanks.
I have the developer toolbar for IE7, which is great when I want to inspect the page layout in a fashion similar to the functionality of firebug for firefox.
However I am working with a web site that opens a new window with the toolbars disabled, and I cannot access my dev toolbar button! Is there a way to force IE7 to always show the toolbar?
I don't believe you can.
You can recover the navigation toolbar (back, forward, address bar, search box) in a chromeless window (one opened without navigation toolbar, menus, other toolbars) by hitting F11, then F11 again, but that still doesn't give you access to the IE Developer Toolbar.
What will sometimes work is to hit CTRL+N while the new, chromeless window has focus. Doing that will open a new chromed (toolbars, menus, etc) to the same URL as the chromeless window. The trick won't work very well if the chromeless window URL is the result of a POST, or does a GET that modifies state in some way on the server.
I imagine that this happens because the pop-up window is opened using a javascript window.open() call specifying not to have the toolbars on the new window?
One possibility is opening the page source, finding the javascript call that opens the window, and pasting it into the address bar, modifying it to not disable toolbars.
For example, if the call currently looks like:
window.open(url, "newWindow", "toolbar=no,width=500,...");
Edit the address bar to read something like:
javascript:window.open(url, "newWindow", "toolbar=yes,width=500,...");
When you push enter on that, it should pop up the window just the same, but with toolbars.
IE8 has the dev toolbar built-in, so you can always access it via F12. Consider upgrading?
