When I add a menu item with a shortcut, the menu click is executed and the
standard control response is bypassed.

You have to create your own "edit" handlers, such as using
Screen.ActiveControl.
Or pass the messages onto the Controls via API.

eg:

    If TypeOf Screen.ActiveControl Is ComboBox Or TypeOf
Screen.ActiveControl Is TextBox Then
      Call SendMessageLong(Screen.ActiveControl.hwnd, WM_CUT, 0&, 0&)
    End If
