UI commands for clipboard operations

The following code example demonstrates how to bind commands for accessing clipboard operations.

<!-- Binds the button to the CutCommand -->
<Button Content="Cut" Command="{Binding ElementName=richTextBoxAdv, Path=CutCommand, Mode=TwoWay}" />
<!-- Binds the button to the CopyCommand -->
<Button Content="Copy" Command="{Binding ElementName=richTextBoxAdv, Path=CopyCommand, Mode=TwoWay}" />
<!-- Binds the button to the PasteCommand -->
<Button Content="Paste" Command="{Binding ElementName=richTextBoxAdv, Path=PasteCommand, Mode=TwoWay}" />
using Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.RichTextBoxAdv;

/// <summary>
/// Cuts the selected content of SfRichTextBoxAdv.
/// </summary>
public void Cut()
{
    // Executes the cut command.
    if (richTextBoxAdv.CutCommand.CanExecute(null))
        richTextBoxAdv.CutCommand.Execute(null);
}
/// <summary>
/// Copies the selected content of SfRichTextBoxAdv.
/// </summary>
public void Copy()
{
    // Executes the copy command.
    if (richTextBoxAdv.CopyCommand.CanExecute(null))
        richTextBoxAdv.CopyCommand.Execute(null);
}
/// <summary>
/// Pastes the clipboard contents into SfRichTextBoxAdv at the current selection.
/// </summary>
public void Paste()
{
    // Executes the paste command.
    if (richTextBoxAdv.PasteCommand.CanExecute(null))
        richTextBoxAdv.PasteCommand.Execute(null);
}
Imports Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.RichTextBoxAdv

' Initializes a new instance of SfRichTextBoxAdv.
Dim richTextBoxAdv As New SfRichTextBoxAdv()

''' <summary>
''' Cuts the selected content of SfRichTextBoxAdv.
''' </summary>
Public Sub Cut()
    ' Executes the cut command.
    If richTextBoxAdv.CutCommand.CanExecute(Nothing) Then
        richTextBoxAdv.CutCommand.Execute(Nothing)
    End If
End Sub

''' <summary>
''' Copies the selected content of SfRichTextBoxAdv.
''' </summary>
Public Sub Copy()
    ' Executes the copy command.
    If richTextBoxAdv.CopyCommand.CanExecute(Nothing) Then
        richTextBoxAdv.CopyCommand.Execute(Nothing)
    End If
End Sub

''' <summary>
''' Pastes the clipboard contents into SfRichTextBoxAdv at the current selection.
''' </summary>
Public Sub Paste()
    ' Executes the paste command.
    If richTextBoxAdv.PasteCommand.CanExecute(Nothing) Then
        richTextBoxAdv.PasteCommand.Execute(Nothing)
    End If
End Sub

You can also use the standard keyboard shortcuts CTRL + X, CTRL + C, and CTRL + V to cut, copy, or paste when SfRichTextBoxAdv has focus.
