### Cutting, Copying and Pasting Controls

Cutting
Select the Cut item in the Edit menu or the Cut button on the toolbar to cut selected controls, windows or dialog boxes and place them on the clipboard. You can retrieve it later by pasting the design information into another design file or the same file. Note: that when you use Cut, you are essentially deleting the controls, windows or dialog boxes from the current design file.

Copying
Select the Copy item in the Edit menu or the Copy button on the toolbar to copy selected controls, windows or dialog boxes to the clipboard. You can retrieve the information later by pasting it into another design file or back into the current one. Copy will leave the current version of the controls, windows, or dialog boxes you are designing in the design file.

Pasting
Select the Paste item in the Edit menu or the Paste button on the toolbar to paste controls, windows or dialog boxes from the clipboard into the IRE. If you have a window or dialog box currently displayed, you will be asked if you want the current window or dialog box replaced with the one you are pasting. Selecting the Yes push button will cause the current window or dialog box to be replaced with the one from the clipboard. Selecting the No push button will cause the current window or dialog box to be stored in memory before the window or dialog box on the clipboard into the design file. If you do not have any window or dialog box displayed, the window or dialog box from the clipboard will be pasted into the design file and immediately displayed to allow you to work on it. The original ID for the window or dialog box will be deleted, and a new one will be used in its place. After the paste operation, the Window/Dialog Styles dialog box will be displayed in which you can change the styles of the window or dialog box, including a new ID symbol and function name. When you are pasting controls, the controls will be pre-selected as a group to allow you to easily move them to a new location if desired.
