Copy and paste the multiple cellTo copy and paste the cell value in a GridControl by using a ContextMenuStrip, you can use Copy() and Paste() method of the Grid.Model.CopyPaste class to copy the selected cell and paste the selected cell in desired cell location. While right clicking on the selected range of cells to show the context menu, the selection is cleared. To avoid clearing of selection, mask the left button by setting SelectCellsMouseButtonsMask to MouseButtons.Left. C# //Prevent the clearing of selection while right clicking on it. this.gridControl1.SelectCellsMouseButtonsMask = System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left;
//Set context menu for grid
this.gridControl1.ContextMenuStrip = this.contextMenuStrip1;
this.gridControl2.ContextMenuStrip = this.contextMenuStrip1;
//Add context menu items
this.contextMenuStrip1.Items.AddRange(new System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem[] {
this.copyToolStripMenuItem,
this.pasteToolStripMenuItem});
//Hook the event to copy/paste the cell values of the grid
pasteToolStripMenuItem.Click += new System.EventHandler(pasteToolStripMenuItem_Click);
copyToolStripMenuItem.Click += new System.EventHandler(copyToolStripMenuItem_Click);
private void copyToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Copy the selected range of cells
this.gridControl1.Model.CutPaste.Copy();
}
private void pasteToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Paste the content in the grid
this.gridControl2.Model.CutPaste.Paste();
}
VB 'Prevent the clearing of selection while right clicking on it.
Me.gridControl1.SelectCellsMouseButtonsMask = System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left
'Set context menu for grid
Me.gridControl1.ContextMenuStrip = Me.contextMenuStrip1
Me.gridControl2.ContextMenuStrip = Me.contextMenuStrip1
'Add context menu items
Me.contextMenuStrip1.Items.AddRange(New System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem() { Me.copyToolStripMenuItem, Me.pasteToolStripMenuItem})
'Hook the event to copy/paste the cell values of the grid
AddHandler pasteToolStripMenuItem.Click, AddressOf pasteToolStripMenuItem_Click
AddHandler copyToolStripMenuItem.Click, AddressOf copyToolStripMenuItem_Click

'Copy the selected range of cells
Me.gridControl1.Model.CutPaste.Copy()
End Sub
