pasting more cells than copied

[Terry Foster]

I looked around the samples, forums and knowledge bases for awhile but could not find any info on this. I want to do what Excel does: select one or more cells, copy those cells, then select a bigger rectangle of dimensions that are a multiple of the copied rectangle, and then paste, having the copied rectangle repeatedly pasted to fill the paste rectangle. Is there an option for this? If not, any suggestions on how I could do this manually and are there plans for this in a future release?

Thanks,

Take a look at the Syncfusion\Essential Suite\Grid\Samples\In Depth\ExcelSelectionMarker sample. It has a mousecontroller class that will let you drag the lower right corner of a selected range. It does not actually copy anything to the new selected range, but you can catch this action and do whatever to the ranges involved.

I did miss that one, but what about simple Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V functionality to do what I described above? Any built-in options for this?

Take a look at the grid.Model.CutPaste class. It has methods like Copy, Paste, CopyRange, ... that you can use to programatically copy and paste cells.
