    Hi.

    I am using the "Copy" command from the right-click menu and it works OK in copying selected cells to the clipboard and then pasting into another program.

    However, I want to copy the entire grid, including column and row headers.

    The headers cannot be selected.

    Is there a way to copy the entire grid to clipboard?

    Hello Artemis,

    Thank you for writing.  

    Header cells are not supposed to be selected and hence, they are not supposed to be copied. However, you can override the PivotGridContextMenu.OnCopyMenuItemClick method, get the clipboard data and customize it according to your requirement and then set the new data.
    this.radPivotGrid1.PivotGridElement.ContextMenu = new CustomPivotGridContextMenu(this.radPivotGrid1.PivotGridElement);

    public class CustomPivotGridContextMenu : PivotGridContextMenu
    {
        public CustomPivotGridContextMenu(RadPivotGridElement pivotGridElement) : base(pivotGridElement)
        {
        }
     
        protected override void OnCopyMenuItemClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnCopyMenuItemClick(sender, e);
            // the selection data is copied to Clipboard. You can get it and customize it
        }
    }

    The following threads are quite useful how to modify the clipboard data:

    I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.

    Hello Deepak, 

    Thank you for writing.  

    In order to get the Clipboard text, feel free to use the Clipboard.GetText method. Additional information is available in the following MSDN thread: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/8c677273-77bf-4423-a799-528e3aed837e/c-paste-from-clipboard?forum=winforms

    I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.
