On Key Label 4

[fxsage]

How can I assign the Cntr-v (paste) action to a command button, so that a click on the button pastes text?

Thanks

In the Click event:

KEYBOARD '{CTRL+v}'

Note that KEYBOARD '{CTRL+v}' will work if that functionality has been defined in a menu or toolbar or whatever.
You may need to use something like the following in the click event instead:

ThisForm.Text1.Value = _CLIPTEXT
-or-
ThisForm.Edit1.Value = ALLTRIM(ThisForm.Edit1.Value) + _CLIPTEXT

And yet another way:

SYS(1500, '_MED_PASTE', '_MEDIT')

Again, this assumes that you have a menu active (not necessarily visible) that includes the Paste command).

Jim's example is the way to go in your particular situation.

In the future if you need to assign key strokes to a form, you will probably have better luck using the keypress event:
