Hello Philip,

The sample that Ivan is referring to is for the UltraWebGrid.

You are correct, for the WebDataGrid there is no such feature presently.
Selecting of the text is possible only when the Selection behavior is
not enabled.
You can try attaching the keydown event handler not to the document, but
to the grid's element $find("WebDataGrid1").get_element()

Great example and fast reponse.  Thanks again.

John

If you have v 9.2 or higher, you can handle the keydown event off the grid:

            <ig:WebDataGrid ID="wdg1" runat="server"

                  DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" AutoGenerateColumns="False">

                  <Behaviors>

                  <ig:Selection CellClickAction="Row" RowSelectType="Single"></ig:Selection>

                  </Behaviors>

                  <ClientEvents KeyDown="keyDown" />

 

And here is a handler for it:

    <script type="text/javascript">

 

      function keyDown(grid, eventArgs)

      {

            var e = eventArgs.get_browserEvent();

            if (e.ctrlKey && e.keyCode == 67)

            {

                  var sel = grid.get_behaviors().get_selection();

                  var selRow = sel.get_selectedRows().getItem(0);

                  var columnCount = grid.get_columns().get_length();

                  var copyText = "";

                  for (var i = 0; i < columnCount; i++)

                  {

                        copyText += selRow.get_cell(i).get_text();

                        if (i < columnCount - 1)

                              copyText += "\t";

                  }

                  if (typeof (window.clipboardData) != "undefined")

                  {

                        window.clipboardData.setData("Text", copyText);

                  }

            }

      }

   

    </script>

 

Placing a text into the clipboard this way only works in IE. For the other browsers it is a bit trickier.

Would it be possible to have some example code of how to copy the contents of a single cell by pressing ctrl + C?  I also have row selection enabled.  Here is my behavior:

 <ig:Selection CellClickAction="Row" RowSelectType="Single" SelectedCellCssClass="SelectedRowItem">

</ig:Selection>

 Thanks!

Ahh, yeah, that is a good idea, I should have thought of that instead of attaching it to the document.

I added two $addHandler() calls to attach the events in the InitializeGrid event for keyup/down and it works great.

Thanks!
