When my TStringGrid hasn't custom PopupMenu, the default one, has elements
"Copy", "Paste", etc.
How to add these elements in my custom menu?

Best Regards

This menu doesn't come from Delphi's TStringGrid class. In fact, it
doesn't come from the Delphi VCL at all.  Instead, it comes from some
versions of Microsoft Windows, and is present on Windows edit controls
that don't have popup menus.

You'd have to use the Windows API, if it is even possible, and I'm not
sure anyone has ever figured out how. Anyway, it is incredibly trivial
for you to make your own Delphi popup menu that includes clipboard
support, which would also allow you to add whatever you want to it, so
this is clearly the way to go.

If you have Delphi 5 you can set up std actions for cut, copy, paste etc and
use them.

Thank you for your quick reply.

I can work with TCipboard, but I can't find a property to get/set the
selected text in the TStringGrid's cell.
Can you give me any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Create a TStringGrid descendant. In your descendant, redeclare the
InplaceEditor property from protected to public. Then use this
property; it is a TCustomMaskEdit descendant.
