The problem is that the WM_CUT message is sent to a control, but your OnMessage statement listens at the window level. I don't think you can use OnMessage to listen to a particular edit control.

On the other hand, I'd bet that a notification (something like EN_CUT maybe) is sent to the window by a WM_COMMAND message when a cut is made in an edit control. You can trap this message using an OnMessage command, determine what the notification message and associated control is

I hope this is not completely incoherent and somewhat helpful.

EDIT-- I checked and I was wrong. There is no CUT notification. There is a change notification which is sent anytime there is a change, but not a CUT. Sorry

Maybe you already know this; Question

but OnMessage is only for monitoring messages sent to the AHK script, so you would have to be cutting something from an AHK GUI (assuming that would generate a 0x300 message, which dncarac says is not the case).

I actually didn't know that - As I said I'm just testing the waters, and really don't know a whole lot about how it works. I don't even care about cutting per se, but I thought that message looked pretty friendly compared to some of the others.

I need to RTFM more, I was just trying to hack together a small example of it working. I thought OnMessage() could do more stuff like be aware of when hardware has changed (USB / Monitor / etc...) but I may have confused it with something else. Thanks DNC and Jaco for the help so far!
