Copy/Paste

[CarlosLima]

I know that it possible to copy/paste the grid's content but when I have a custom header, let's say with a textblock on it, how do I set the copy/paste to make sure that when the cells and the header are copied to the clipboard, the header has what I want it to have (and not the textblock class type text...)

Thanks.

Hello carlos,

To overcome the problem you need to subscribe to the Copying event of the gridview and set the Header of the particular column to a string:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}">
    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
        <StackPanel>
            <TextBlock Text="my custom header" />
            <TextBlock Text="another line" />
        </StackPanel>
    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

private void clubsGrid_Copying(object sender, GridViewClipboardEventArgs e)
{
    var column = this.clubsGrid.Columns["Name"];
    if (column.Header is StackPanel)
    {
        var sp = column.Header as StackPanel;
        var headerText = string.Empty;

        foreach (var tb in sp.ChildrenOfType<TextBlock>())
        {
            headerText += tb.Text + " ";
        }

        column.Header = headerText;
    }
}

Now, the clipboard will have the correct header.
Finally, you need to restore the original look of the Header in the Copied event.

is there any update on this particular issue

it is not very practical to rewrite the header just for the sake of the clipboard function
and then try and restore it to its original values afterwards.

i would prefer it to show in the CopyingCellClipboardContent event or
act similiar to the elementexporting event
so i can adjust it before it is copied to the clipboard

is there something i am missing
another event.

Any help will be appreciated

thanks

Hi,

I am afraid that such a functionality is still not supported.
