Hi

I guess this is an api issue...

How could I add a menu item to the global right-click menu that offers copy, 
cut, paste, etc. ?

The requirement is thus:  the user is within any arbitrary application eg 
reading an email etc.  I would like it to be possible to right-click and in 
addition to the normal cut/copy/paste etc options, there be a new option 
'copy to my app'.  My app would then grab a copy of the selected text 
(presumably from the clipboard, which I know how to do) and do something 
with it, perhaps in the background.

I know I can do it using normal copy and paste, but I would like to make it 
easier for the user by not having to then select my app, position the mouse 
in a memo or whatever, and finally select paste.

If I can't add a menu item (easily), could I get a notification when the 
user clicks on Copy, then pop up a sub-menu, offering eg 'Copy to Clipboard' 
and 'Copy to My App' ??

Many thanks,

Denville.
