Using Clipboard Operations

In This Topic

The user can cut, copy, and paste data in the control by default. You can set AutoClipboard to false to prevent this. The ClipBoardOptions property allows you to control what data is pasted by the user. If the user cuts the data before pasting, all the information is pasted.

The cut action is treated as a copy action if the user cuts the data between controls, between the control and an Excel-formatted file, or between the GcSpreadSpread control and other controls.

Copying and pasting between the control and a CSV file is only supported if the text is separated with /t.

The following conditions apply when using cut, copy, or paste:

If a selected range includes a hidden cell, then the hidden cell information is cut, copied, or pasted as well.
The active cell becomes the first cell of the target range when pasting.
Text is treated as a formula when pasting text that starts with an "=" from another control or application.
Cut, copy, or paste is not supported with data validation, conditional formats, and filter actions.
Cut, copy, or paste is not supported between the control and an HTML file.
The target range size may be adjusted to the source range size when copying and pasting.

Using Code

The following example copies and pastes data using the ClipboardCopy and ClipboardPaste methods.
