How to implment Copy, Paste, Cut in a MDI applcation?

I'm trying to implemet the Copy, Paste, Cut, Select all, Redo, Undo funtions. I have a MDI form with the Edit menu and several child forms, I try some methods but no one works:

Private Sub CopyToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CopyToolStripMenuItem.Click

My.Computer.Clipboard.Clear()

If TypeOf Me.ActiveControl Is TextBox Then

Dim objControl As TextBox = Me.ActiveControl

My.Computer.Clipboard.SetText(objControl.SelectedText)

ElseIf TypeOf Me.ActiveControl Is ComboBox Then

Dim objControl As ComboBox = Me.ActiveControl

My.Computer.Clipboard.SetText(objControl.Text)

ElseIf TypeOf Me.ActiveControl Is PictureBox Then

Dim objControl As PictureBox = Me.ActiveControl

'My.Computer.Clipboard.SetData(objControl.Image)

ElseIf TypeOf Me.ActiveControl Is ListBox Then

Dim objControl As ListBox = Me.ActiveControl

My.Computer.Clipboard.SetText(objControl.Text)

Else

' No action makes sense for the other controls.

End If

End Sub

Some suggestions?

Regards

What part is not working? Does the clip text never make it into the clipboard?
