How do I allow CTRL-V (Paste) on a Winforms Textbox?

Question

I have several textboxes on a windows form.

I can't paste text into any of them using CTRL-V, though I can still right click and select paste. This is pretty annoying.

I have tried this with the form's KeyPreview as both true and false. TextBox.ShortcutsEnabled is also true.

Answer 1

Check to see if you have a menu on the form with a shortcut for Ctrl-V.

Answer 2

The following code should help:

private void textBox1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) {
  if (e.KeyData == Keys.V && e.Modifiers == Keys.Control)
    (sender as Textbox).Paste();
}
