[Solved] Copying values from a cell?

[Loring Vogel]

I am displaying search results in a RadGridView and need to allow the user to select parts of a cell and copy to the clipboard for further search use.

How can I allow the user to select text in a cell and copy it to the clipboard?

Thank you.

Hello,

The only option I can think of is to use CellTemplate for all grid columns with TextBoxes. I've made for you small demo project to illustrate you how to achieve this - you can find it attached.

Here is the code:

<telerikGridView:RadGridView x:Name="RadGridView1" AutoGenerateColumns="False" IsReadOnly="True">
            <telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns>
                <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn Header="ID" DataMemberBinding="{Binding ID}">
                    <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBox BorderThickness="{x:Null}" Background="{x:Null}" Text="{Binding ID}"/>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                </telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn>
                <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn Header="Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}">
                    <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBox BorderThickness="{x:Null}" Background="{x:Null}" Text="{Binding Name}"/>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                </telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn>
            </telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns>
        </telerikGridView:RadGridView>
