Copy column header names possible?

[Brian Graves]

I can multi-select (using the SelectionMode property) and manually copy rows from my RadGridView to an Excel spreadsheet.  However, I can't do the same with the column header and copy the names.  Is there a different property that I need to set in order to do this?

Hi,

 Currently RadGridView does not support column selection however since we have now multiple cells selection you can implement column selection very easily by selecting all cells for particular column.

Please explain. If RadGridView currently doesn't support column selection but I can implement it, how do I go about doing that?  I looked at the sample you provided but it doesn't allow me to copy the column HEADER name.  I selected Multiple cells (including the header) on the sample page in the link but every single time I did a copy (ctrl-C) and paste (ctrl-V), nothing was pasted in my Excel spreadsheet...even when I answered Yes to allow telerik to access my clipboard.  In any case, I still need an answer about whether or not I can copy any of the header column names on the grid.  Can I?

Hello,

 I've misunderstood your question. No the grid will not copy the header cell in the clipboard however you can define custom Header for your columns, catch KeyDown of the UI element(s) defined in your header and copy desired value in the clipboard using standard Silverlight clipboard methods.

All the best,
