[Solved] Copy to Excel query

[Chris]

We are using the latest version of the RadGridView control (Silverlight 4) and looking to utilise the new copy functionality to allow users to copy data from the grid and paste into Excel.

There are two questions I have:

1. Can a column be omitted from the output? I can handle the CopyCellClipboardContent event but cancelling the event for the specified column does not prevent the column from being outputted and you simply get an empty column with a column header.
2. Can the header text outputted be manipulated? We have anumber of column headers that are simply images, or as a good example the GridViewSelectColumn. If you add headers to the ClipboardCopyMode enum, which we would like, then the header output from this field is System.Windows.Controls.CheckBox Content: IsChecked:False. Any field that does not use a standard string based Header suffers from this issue.

Hello Chris,

 Currently it's not possible to achieve the scenarios you described. I have opened two public feature requests (here and here) - you can vote for them at the links provided. The more votes they gather, the higher priority they have in our development roadmap.

 I have also awarded you telerik points for the feedback.

Thanx for the quick response. This would be a really useful feature to have more control over the output so thanks alot for recording these points as feature requests.

Regards,
Chris
