Thanks for reply
CTRL+C and CTRL+V copy full message.
we require, user can select text, which user need and copy it from message box.
Example: "your Receipt No. is 101 , Please save this receipt no for further processing"
want to copy only 101. not full message.

You can use a Dialog form instead of using a message box.
Add a ContextMenuStrip item to the Dialog then add a click method to it.
Set the copy to clipborad to the text or label you want to be sent to the clipbboard. something like below.

VB

Private Sub CopyMessageToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CopyMessageToolStripMenuItem.Click
    Dim message As String
    message = Label1.Text
    My.Computer.Clipboard.Clear()
    My.Computer.Clipboard.SetText(message)
End Sub
