I have noticed than CommandBars "steal" the accelarator keys from every other control. This causes problems considering the following scenario:
 
I have a form with two text boxes and a command bar that has Cut, Copy and Paste buttons with Shift+Del, Ctrl+Ins and Shift+Ins accelerator keys respectivelly.
 
The problem is that I have to explicitly write code in the CommandBars Execute event handler for handing individually Cut/Copy/Paste for both textboxes.
 
Now consider the scenario where I have an MDI form with several MDI-child forms and each one has several text boxes and property grids... Handling Cut/Copy/Paste there is a nightmare.
 
Default Windows Menu behavior "manifesto" seems to kind-of-bubble the WM_CUT/COPY/PASTE message to the appropriate control.
 
What is the proposed way of overcomming this problem ?

I having the same troubles. I think that should be need to have such possibility to exclude such key combinations from commandbar.execute event, so that our program can take the control on these keys.

i had the issue where i did not want the command bar to take control of the copy paste at all, which i fixed by using command bar editor and deleting all the Accelerators in the list (within designer), i assume this can be done via code also
