Hey Daniel,

I still can't get GridCtrl to Copy to an external application (tried excel and notepad and this box that I'm typing in now). It appears that the data isn't available in the clipboard.

I have clipboard checked in the layout editor. Is there something else I need to do? I can paste into the GridCtrl but I can't copy out of it and into another app. I can bring up the menu and choose copy with one or more cells selected and I can paste into the GridCtrl from something I've copied from the GridCtrl.

Its very puzzling because presumably your GridCtrl is pasting from the clipboard but no other app can see the the stuff in the clipboard.

Hi.
That's because gridctrl use internal clipboard format when you press Ctrl+C. I can add coping data into text clipboard if you need it.

Ah yes please. I am testing my software and I find it frustrating that I can't take results into Excel so I expect my users will too.

Thanks Daniel,

Nick

Ok. Done

Tested only in OO Calc 2.3. Please let me know if it works for you in MS Excel.

Hey Daniel,

I went and got the GridCtrl code from here

https://upp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/upp/

I bombed and rebuilt and tested with both OO and MSOffice and nothing. Neither app detects that there is anything on the clipboard.

What am I missing please?
