DataGrid -- when do selected rows end up on clipboard?

[Maggie Eusebio Schock]

Hi,

I would like to understand when a selected cell, selected row or
selected rows in the DataGrid control ends up on the clipboard. All I
know is that the selection ends up on the clipboard, because when I
issue a copy command then paste to an editor, the selected datagrid
cell(s) end up on the editor.

Maybe a better way of stating my question is during what event (e.g.
MouseUp) do the selected cells end up on the clipboard (I assume via
the Clipboard.SetDataObject() method call.)

Thanks in advance.

Maggie

Maggie,

This is a complete guess, but I would think that either when the
KeyPress or the KeyUp event is when it gets copied.

Hope this helps.

I don't think data on DataGrid automatically go to Clipboard when you simply
select row(s) or cell(s)

It only goes to Clipboard if you press Ctrl+C.(of course if you design
Ctrl+C for other purpose in the app, then it won't copy to Clipboard)
