Copy entire grid to clipboard and possible bug

[Thor]

1. How do I select cells withing a grid programatically?

2. How do I copy the entire grid to the clipboard via code?

3. I have a MDI app with a grid running in a child window. The app is a simulator and the grid captures the data from the simulator while the simulation is running. For each iteration of the simulator, a new row is added to the grid and I call

this.gridControl1.SetTopRow(this.gridControl1.RowCount);

to keep showing the most current data. However, if I minimize the child window during the simulation, then stop the simulation, when I maximize the window with the grid I get the following exception. Note that I can't capture this exception. The firs line number in code that is referenced is line 388 which is Application.Run(new frmMain());

System.ArgumentException: '106' is not a valid value for 'value'. 'value' should be between 'minimum' and 'maximum'.

I can answer this one, create a range and add it to the Selections collection:

GridRangeInfo range = GridRangeInfo.Cells( top, left, bottom, right );
this.gridControl1.Selections.Add( range );

2. Use the CopyRange method.

3. It is best if you have a small sample project that demonstrates the problem, create a DirectTrac incident on our Support site and upload it there. That saves a lot of time trying to recreate the scenario you just described and we can more quickly find out what might be wrong with your or our code.
