Examples

The following code example illustrates how to use this method to determine whether there are any cells selected in a DataGridView control. In this example, if any cells are selected, their values are retrieved through the GetClipboardContent method and displayed in a TextBox control.

This code is part of a larger example illustrating the use of the Clipboard features of the DataGridView control. This example is part of a larger example available in How to: Enable Users to Copy Multiple Cells to the Clipboard from the Windows Forms DataGridView Control.

private void CopyPasteButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    if (this.DataGridView1
        .GetCellCount(DataGridViewElementStates.Selected) > 0)
    {
        try
        {
            // Add the selection to the clipboard.
            Clipboard.SetDataObject(
                this.DataGridView1.GetClipboardContent());
            
            // Replace the text box contents with the clipboard text.
            this.TextBox1.Text = Clipboard.GetText();
        }
        catch (System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException)
        {
            this.TextBox1.Text = 
                "The Clipboard could not be accessed. Please try again.";
        }
    }
}

Private Sub CopyPasteButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CopyPasteButton.Click

    If Me.DataGridView1.GetCellCount( _
        DataGridViewElementStates.Selected) > 0 Then

        Try

            ' Add the selection to the clipboard.
            Clipboard.SetDataObject( _
                Me.DataGridView1.GetClipboardContent())

            ' Replace the text box contents with the clipboard text.
            Me.TextBox1.Text = Clipboard.GetText()

        Catch ex As System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException
            Me.TextBox1.Text = _
                "The Clipboard could not be accessed. Please try again."
        End Try

    End If

End Sub

Remarks

This method is useful to determine the number of cells in a particular state. To retrieve the number of selected cells, for example, use this method with the DataGridViewElementStates.Selected value. This is typically more efficient than using the SelectedCells property.
