    For a standard ComboBox, add a ContextMenyStrip to the form, add menu items, add code then set the ContextMenuStrip property of the ComboBox to the new ContextMenuStrip.

    Code for copy and cut (you can figure out the rest) 

    Private Sub CopyToolStripMenuItem_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles CopyToolStripMenuItem.Click  
    Clipboard.SetText(ComboBox1.Text)  
End Sub  


Private Sub CutToolStripMenuItem_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles CutToolStripMenuItem.Click  
    Clipboard.SetText(ComboBox1.Text)  
    ComboBox1.Items.RemoveAt(ComboBox1.SelectedIndex)  
End Sub
