Question

how to disable copy paste of action column in grid view

Sunny Sharma 1

We are developing a Winform app and have a requirement to enable copy paste entire data in grid view including the header column which is working fine. The only issue we are getting is while copy pasting it's also including the first action empty column which is not needed. I have attached the screenshot. Could anyone please tell whether it's possible to remove the blank action column from the Grid view while copy pasting.

I guess that you are talking about the DataGridView used in the Windows Forms application. If so remove the tag of "dorne--aspnet-mvc".

The issue is we are using the datagridview property Clipboardcopymode and setting it to EnableAlwaysIncludeHeaderText. I have attached the screen shot of the same i.e . We have a requirement to be able to copy the entire table data along with the headers. By doing so the first column i.e which is a blank one also gets copied. We cannot hide this since we have a row selection event enabled which has onwards functionality incorporated. We just want that while we copypaste the entire table data, the first blank column doesnot copied across. Can this be achieved?

Hi Sunny,

What you need to do is to disable the row header by following these steps:

Get the properties of your GridView
Navigate to the RowHeadersVisible settings and set it to False

Or via code:

   csharp  
   this.dataGridView1.RowHeadersVisible=false;

Hope this helps
