Formatting output generated by CopyTextToBuffer

[Kevin Lee]

Hi,

I have a GridDataBoundGrid on a form. One of the columns displays a number of type long, but the GridBoundColumn CellValueType is set to type string.

I am using CopyTextToBuffer to copy the grid contents to a string which gets written to a file. All is good except for the column with the long number. It is converted to scientific notation when copied and precision is lost. Is there a way keep the format as a string?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Kevin,

One way you can handle this is to subscribe to the ClipboardCopy event, and handle all the work yourself. You can place whatever you want on the clipboard, and that could be pasted later.

Please look at this forum thread.
