Remarks
The deletion performed by the WM_CUT message can be undone by sending the edit control an EM_UNDO message.
To delete the current selection without placing the deleted text on the clipboard, use the WM_CLEAR message.
When sent to a combo box, the WM_CUT message is handled by its edit control. This message has no effect when sent to a combo box with the CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style.
