How can I make an XamGrid be readonly while at the same time letting the user select a cells contents so they can copy and paste values? I.e, grid is readonly, but they need to be able to select a cells value, copy and paste it into another app.
If I set
<ig:XamGrid.EditingSettings> <ig:EditingSettings AllowEditing="Cell" IsMouseActionEditingEnabled="SingleClick" IsEnterKeyEditingEnabled="True" IsF2EditingEnabled="True" IsOnCellActiveEditingEnabled="False" /></ig:XamGrid.EditingSettings>I set these editing settings to make it so you can select on an individual cell.I also set the columns IsReadOnly to true but once you do this, you can't selectthe cell's value.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.
Hi,
In 10.3, we added support for Copy and Paste:

Is this the type of functionality you're looking for?

The only ways I could figure out how to lets the user select and copy the data in a cell from a readonly grid was to either template every column in XAML with readonly textbox's (which looked odd and would of required additional styling) or to just add a right-click context menu option called copy and use the grids ActiveCell property like such...
try{ if (grid.ActiveCell != null) Clipboard.SetText(grid.ActiveCell.Value.ToString());}catch(System.Security.SecurityException){ // user selected no, handle silently.}I was hoping there was a property I was missing or something that would allowthe user to select a cell's contents when the grid columns are readonly. Ieven tried messing with a couple events hoping I could just abort an eventbut non of them worked appropriately for me.
