            _owner = editor;
                
            // create menu items
            _btnCut = (ToolStripMenuItem)Items.Add("Cut");
            _btnCut.ShortcutKeys = Keys.Control | Keys.X;
            _btnCopy = (ToolStripMenuItem)Items.Add("Copy");
            _btnCopy.ShortcutKeys = Keys.Control | Keys.C;
            _btnPaste = (ToolStripMenuItem)Items.Add("Paste");
            _btnPaste.ShortcutKeys = Keys.Control | Keys.V;
        }
                
        protected override void OnItemClicked(ToolStripItemClickedEventArgs e)
        {
            Close();
            if (e.ClickedItem == _btnCopy)
                _owner.Copy();
            else if (e.ClickedItem == _btnCut)
                _owner.Cut();
            else if (e.ClickedItem == _btnPaste)
                _owner.Paste();
            base.OnItemClicked(e);

        {
            _btnCopy.Enabled = _owner.CanCopy;
