Copying and Pasting Cell Values in Syncfusion GridDataBoundGrid

Applies to TestComplete 15.63, last modified on April 23, 2024

When testing an application with the Syncfusion GridDataBoundGrid control, you may need to copy or paste grid data to and from the clipboard. For example, you can use this to specify the same values in multiple cells or organize a data exchange between the tested application and another one. With TestComplete, you can directly access the clipboard contents using the Sys.Clipboard property. This way, you can get the text copied to the clipboard as well as set the clipboard contents in order to paste it to the application under test.

This topic describes the two approaches that you can use to copy and paste GridDataBoundGrid data from scripts; simulating the corresponding user actions over the grid control and using the grid’s internal properties and methods. In your scripts, you can use the approach that better suits your needs. Depending on the approach you choose, you may need to locate the desired cell in the grid and select it in order to be able to copy or paste the cell value. For more information on how you can obtain and modify grid data, see Obtaining and Setting Cell Values.

To perform these actions, TestComplete should have access to internal objects, properties and methods of the GridDataBoundGrid control. For this purpose, the .NET Application Support plugin must be installed and enabled.

When testing Syncfusion GridDataBoundGrid controls, use specific methods and properties of the corresponding SyncfusionEssGrid object. You can call these methods and properties from your keyword tests, as well as from scripts. This topic describes how to work with an object’s properties and methods from your scripts. However, when testing a GridDataBoundGrid control from your keyword test, you can use the same methods and properties calling them from keyword test operations. For more information, see Keyword Tests Basic Operations.
Simulating User Actions Over the GridDataBoundGrid Control

You can copy the cell value to the clipboard or paste it from the clipboard using the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V keyboard shortcuts. You can simulate these shortcuts using the Keys action applied to the grid control.

Before performing the copy or paste operation, you need to locate the desired cell in the grid, select it and activate its in-place editor. After the cell’s edit mode is activated, you should specify the cell contents to be copied or replaced. For example, to select the entire cell value, you can simulate the successive Home and Shift+End key presses (Home moves the caret to the beginning of the cell text and Shift+End selects the cell text from the caret position to the end). After performing the pasting operation, you should apply the changes by simulating the Enter keypress.

Note: The grid control may be configured so that it selects the cell contents right after the cell becomes selected. For example, this happens if the grid’s ActivateCurrentCellBehavior property is set to “SelectAll”. In this case, you do not need to perform any actions to select the cell text to be copied or replaced.

Below in an example that illustrates how you can copy the GridDataBoundGrid cells' values to and paste them from the clipboard.

The GridDataBoundGrid control may also have a context menu allowing the users to copy or paste grid cell values, so you may want to perform clipboard operations using this menu. To call the context menu, you can use the ClickR action applied to the grid control, or send the Application key press to the grid control using the Keys action. After the context menu is displayed on the screen, you can obtain it using the PopupMenu property added to the GridDataBoundGrid control by TestComplete. To select items in the context menu, use the Click or Select method of the resulting Menu object.

Using the GridDataBoundGrid Internal Methods

It is possible to copy and paste GridDataBoundGrid cell values by using the grid control's internal methods. The grid’s Model.CutPaste property provides access to the special GridModelCutPaste object that lets you perform various clipboard operations with the grid data. For example, to copy the selected cell’s value to the clipboard and paste it from the clipboard, you can use the following statements:

GridObj.Model.CutPaste.Copy()
GridObj.Model.CutPaste.Paste()

GridObj is the scripting object that corresponds to the GridDataBoundGrid control. Note that these methods only work with the currently selected cell. To be able to copy or paste the cell value you need to locate the cell in the grid and select it.

The example below demonstrates how you can copy and paste cell data via the GridDataBoundGrid.Model.CutPaste object in scripts:
