You have to methodically determine on an event by event basis what is going to cause selection and what isn't, then update the menus accordingly. It takes a lot of testing. An alternative is polling whether text is selected at the moment but is a waste of CPU cycles and is unnecessary. Best is to let the system clipboard handle copy-paste as it was designed to do. You are opening a can of worms trying to micromanage your application. James -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
