There is no direct support - perhaps because the only hard part is the format, which cannot be preimplemented (you have to decide), putting on clipboard is then simple.

Hello Mirek

A sample that works for me is in GridCtrl.cpp, function GridCtrl::SetClipboard, where the separation between rows is with \r\n and between columns is with \t.

This way the cells are pasted well in MS Excel and in Open Office.

A thing to care with is not to add aditional tabs per row as in GridCtrl. This additional tab deletes the next column in Excel.

So to copy this:

First   Row
Second  Row

it has to be passed to the clipboard this:

"First\tRow\r\nSecond\tRow"

instead of this:

"First\tRow\t\r\nSecond\tRow\t"

Thank you very much
Koldo

String s;
for(int i = 0; i < array.GetCount(); i++) {
    for(int j = 0; j < columns; j++) {
         if(j) s << '\t';
         s << AsString(array.Get(i,j);
    }
    s << "\r\n";
}
WriteClipboardText(s);

Thank you Mirek

This is the version I have included, adding IsSel to copy only selected rows.

	String s;
	
	for(int i = 0; i < array.GetCount(); i++) {
		if (array.IsSel(i)) {
		    for(int j = 0; j < array.GetColumnCount(); j++) {
		         if(j) 
		         	s << '\t';
		         s << AsString(array.Get(i,j));
		    }
		    s << "\r\n";
		}
	}
	WriteClipboardText(s);

To finish this it would be great to add it to ArrayCtrl Smile

Hello Koldo,

I need to get the rows selected in an array. Is this snippet included in some ArrayCtrl method? I cannot find it.
Thanks,
Luigi
