Cell Drag-and-Drop

[DavidBS]

Hi!

is it possible to drag-and-drop a cell value to another application (like Chrome URL field)? I dont want to neither a row nor an entire column but only the selected field.

And how drag this field if, when I clicked over it, Sfdatagrid seems to entry in "edit mode"?

I appreciate any help.

Hi David, 

 

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products. 

 

Currently, the SfDataGrid does not have support for dragging selected ranges within the grid or to an external application. To achieve this use case, we suggest that you to copy the content by invoking the ClipboardController.Copy() method when the cell is clicked by handling CurrentCellActivated event.  

 

Example code 

 

//To select current cell 

this.sfDataGrid1.SelectionUnit = Syncfusion.WinForms.DataGrid.Enums.SelectionUnit.Cell; 

//Event subscription 

this.sfDataGrid1.CurrentCellActivated += SfDataGrid1_CurrentCellActivated; 

 

//Event customization 

private void SfDataGrid1_CurrentCellActivated(object sender, CurrentCellActivatedEventArgs e) 

{ 

    sfDataGrid1.BeginInvoke(new Action(() => { sfDataGrid1.ClipboardController.Copy(); })); 

} 

 

We have attached a video demo and a sample to achieve your requirement and please make use of the same.

Note: As we could not retrieve paste operation for external application (such as, chrome url search box), we suggest that you to paste the copied content manually.
