Unable to copy the data when GridCopyOption set as IncludeHeaders in SfDataGrid - From 179070

[Peter]

Thank you so much for your reply.  Yes, I can see that reducing the opacity shows the selected cells.  However, I do have to compromise on my desired cell background colours.

Also, and I'm afraid I couldn't get your sample to compile, but although a selection rectangle is now shown, Ctrl+C does not copy the selected cells to the clipboard.  I have:

                        GridCopyOption="IncludeHeaders"

                        SelectionMode="Extended"

                        SelectionUnit="Cell"

So I don't understand why the copy functionality is not working.  I have another sfDataGrid in the application with the same settings but no converter and Ctrl+C works as expected there.

Hi Peter,

Your requirement to copy the selected cells in SfDataGrid can be achieved by setting the CopyData option in GridCopyOption property. Refer to the below code snippet,

<Syncfusion:SfDataGrid

                        x:Name="tokenisedGrid"

                       AllowDraggingColumns="True"

                        AllowResizingColumns="True"

                        AllowTriStateSorting="True"

                        ColumnSizer="Auto"

                        Foreground="Black"

                        GridCopyOption="IncludeHeaders,CopyData"

                        SelectionMode="Extended"

                        SelectionUnit="Cell"

                        ShowBusyIndicator="True"

                        ItemsSource="{Binding Orders}"

                        ShowGroupDropArea="True"

                        ShowRowHeader="True"

                        ShowSortNumbers="True" />

Find the sample in the attachment.
