How do I add the option to select a portion of text to Cut/Copy to clipboard using the mouse in my next c source?

You can start by implementing mouse event handlers (WM_LBUTTONDOWN, WM_MOUSEMOVE, WM_LBUTTONUP) to allow users to select text. For clipboard operations, use the WM_KEYDOWN message to detect keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V). Use the Windows clipboard API to manage text data: OpenClipboard, SetClipboardData, GetClipboardData, and CloseClipboard for clipboard operations, and GlobalAlloc, GlobalLock, and GlobalUnlock to handle memory allocation for clipboard data
