Show Selected Range after Pasting Data

[Jeff Lancaster]

In a GDBG, if I copy data from a range of cells, click a new cell and then select paste, I would like to show the entire pasted range as selected (Currently, after pasting, only the first cell in the range is selected). How can I achieve this?

Thanks,
Jeff

I think you need to handle the ClipboardPaste event. In that event you can call Model.CutPaste.Paste() to paste the contents from the clipboard. After that set e.Handled = true;

bool inPaste = false;

private void gridControl1_ClipboardPaste(object sender, GridCutPasteEventArgs e)
{
if (inPaste)
return;

inPaste = true;
gridControl1.Model.CutPaste.Paste();

// now select the range of cells

// I suggest calling Model.TextDataExchange.CalcBufferDimension(string psz, out int nRows, out int nCols)

wheras psz should be the data from e.DataObject (buffer = iData.GetData(DataFormats.Text) as string)

// then call
Selections.SelectRange(range, true);

e.Handled = true;
inPaste = false;
}
