RadGridView cell copy\paste remove newline

[Heath]

Hi all,

Is there a method to simply strip the newline out after a cell copy in RadGridView. Currently I'm using CopyingCellClipboardContent to manipulate the e.Value, but when I go to paste into Notepad there's a newline added. Unfortunately, we have an webapp that doesn't like the newline character.

The work around is that I add a button column to the gridview and just use this to control the clipboard content but I'd much prefer the CTRL + C method.

Cheers

Heath

Hello Heath,

A possible way to do this is to use the Copied event of the GridView. It occurs after the selected cells of the GridViewDataControl were copied to the Clipboard. That helps us get the already copied data in the clipboard with Clipboard.GetData() method and then replace it with the Clipboard.SetData() method. In order to display your content in one cell, you will need to remove the new line ("\n") of the initially copied clipboard data and then set it in the clipboard.

private void clubsGrid_Copied(object sender, Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            string originalText = Clipboard.GetData(DataFormats.UnicodeText).ToString();
            var updatedText = originalText.Replace("\n", "");
            Clipboard.SetData(DataFormats.UnicodeText, updatedText);
        }

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Thanks Boris,

I got it working like this. I feel foolish not seeing or thinking of this.

        private void dtgrd_Catelog_Copied(object sender, Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            {
                string originalText = Clipboard.GetText().ToString();
                var updatedText = originalText.Replace("\n", "");
                Clipboard.SetText(updatedText);
            }
        }


Cheers

We are running into the same issue and want to get rid of the empty line at the end. But when we try to modify the clipboard in the OnCopied event we run into a COMException (0x800401D0) as it fails to open the clipboard.

Hello Dominik,

I am afraid that I cannot say for certain what is the reason for the described behavior based on the provided information. Since, the operations involving the clipboard are not directly related to the UI for WPF controls, I can suggest searching on a general purpose forum such as stackoverflow. 

Of course, if you can share a runnable sample project in a new support ticket (since projects cannot be attached to forum posts), we will be glad to investigate the scenario.
