Hi,

i cant copy the content from the footers into the clipboard. The footer row is always empty in clipboard!

ClipboardCopyMode is "All"

My Style:

<Style x:Key="DataFooter" TargetType="GridView:GridViewFooterCell">
        <Setter Property="Content">
            <Setter.Value>
                <StackPanel>
                    <GridView:AggregateResultsList ItemsSource="{Binding}" VerticalAlignment="Center">
                        <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalAlignment="Center">
                                    <TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="{Binding Caption}" />
                                    <TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="{Binding FormattedValue}" />
                                </StackPanel>
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
                        <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
                            <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                                <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" />
                            </ItemsPanelTemplate>
                        </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
                    </GridView:AggregateResultsList>
                </StackPanel>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>

Regards,
Thomas

Hello Thomas,

Indeed, you are quite correct. Only the content of the footer (set through Footer property of the column) is copied. We will investigate the issue and consider a way for improving this behavior so that the aggregates are copied as well.
Thank you for your feedback. I have updated your Telerik points accordingly.

This is my work arround:

Code Behind:
dataColumn.AggregateFunctions.Add(new SumFunction() { ResultFormatString = "{0:N2}", FunctionName = dataColumn.Header.ToString() });
 
var footerBinding = new Binding(string.Format("AggregateResults[{0}].FormattedValue", dataColumn.Header));
footerBinding.Source = this;
BindingOperations.SetBinding(dataColumn, GridViewColumn.FooterProperty, footerBinding);

Maybe it is for someone usefull....

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

The issue has been resolved with our current official release - Q1 2012. I am attaching a sample project so that you can test the functionality.
Let me know in case you find any other related issues.

Hi,

i found the same problem in the header.

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
   <StackPanel>
      <TextBlock Text="Multiline"></TextBlock>
      <TextBlock Text="Header"></TextBlock>
   </StackPanel>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>

In the Clipboard content the Header is "System...StackPanel"

Best Regards,
Thomas

Hello Thomas,

That would be the expected behavior since RadGridView is aware for its data (the items, headers/ footers set through the corresponding properties). However, it does not know about those custom objects that you define in the Header and since every user can place whatever he/ she wants, we cannot create a general way for copying the values for those objects. 
In this case you will need to develop your own custom logic for copy/ paste functionality depending on your specific requirements and settings.

Hello Thomas,

The case with the footer is slightly different as RadGridView is aware of its aggregate results and can read them. If you define a Footer of a column like:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Footer>
                        <TextBlock Text="MyText" />
                    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Footer>

The content of the TextBlock will not be copied as well since the grid is not aware of the custom object defined in the footer.

Hello,

okay i understand this. I think it would be great, if the CreateClipBoardCellContent event would be extendet for headercells and footercells...
Is this in on the roadmap?

Hi Thomas,

The idea is that each user can place any content in the headers and footers of the columns.
For example:
1. First case:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Footer>
                        <TextBlock Text="MyText" />
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Footer>
2. Second case:
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Footer>
                        <Image/>
                        <StackPanel>
                             <TextBlock Text="MyText1" />
                             <TextBlock Text="MyText2" />
                         </StackPanel>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Footer>

What should be copied in both cases ? Generally, in neither case RadGridView is aware of what is placed in the footer. Consequently, it cannot copy the expected content.

Hi,

You are right, but i dont understand why you cant extend the CopyClibboard event.

The current situation is that you get in your first scenario the clipboard content "TextBlock".

If the event would be extended (for header and footer cells) you habe two options:

1. react on the header cell and set the value to the textblock text or something else...
2. dont react. in this case you will see "TextBlock" like it is in the current situation.

I think this event is exactly for this implemented (but only for normal cells)!

Regards,
Thomas
