Support Excel clipboard format when using Ctrl+C in the grid or using the CopyToClipboard method.

CopyToClipboard issue with cells containing carriage returns and then pasting into Excel

created 15 years ago

When copying data from the grid, either using Ctrl+C or calling the CopyToClipboard method, if the data contains carriage returns in any of the cells then if this is pasted into Excel then additional rows are created for each line of text in the cell. Is it possible for the clipboard to contain a version of the copied data in a format such that when pasted into Excel it displays correctly, i.e. the text is in a single cell rather than split over multiple rows?

    Hello Stephen.
    Thank you for the response.
    You can post a separate suggestion about supporting clipboard operations using MS Excel format. Our developers will consider it and will possibly implement it in future versions of our controls.
    However, I cannot give you any precise time frame on when that request may be implemented. Fortunately or not, our TO-DO list is very long, so we have to decide which features to implement first, and which ones to delay. In any case, we try to take all requests into account when scheduling our development.
    Best regards,
    Ingvar.
