    Copy

  Hi,

  It doesn’t seem like it’s possible to copy/paste objects or arrays . I tried overwriting the copy handler to copy the object/array value instead of the string representation but the wijmo.Clipboard.copy function only accepts string.

  Is there a way that I’m not aware of that allow you to copy and paste object/arrays?

  Regards,
  
  Johnny

  Hi,
  
  Wijmo Clipboard support only text type so if you need to transfer arrays/objects then you may use JSON.stringify()/JSON.parse() to convert JSON to text format or vice versa.
  
  //please refer to following code-snippet

  grid.copying.addHandler((s,e)=>{
   
   
  let jsonData={"msg":"this is json"};
  let text=JSON.stringify(jsonData);
  //copy to clipboard
  wijmo.Clipboard.copy(text);
  //stop default copy behaviour
  e.cancel=true;
   
   
  });
