When your end users perform a cut or copy operation, the DataPresenter controls add data to the clipboard in HTML, CSV (comma-separated value), and text formats. You can handle the DataPresenter controls' ClipboardCopying or ClipboardPasting events to modify the values before the cut/copy operations add data to the clipboard or before a paste operation pastes data into the DataPresenter controls, respectively. In addition, you can also handle the attached events exposed by the DataObject class in the .NET Framework to prevent the addition of specific formats to the clipboard or to add your own formats to the clipboard.
The following example code demonstrates how to prevent the addition of HTML data to the clipboard.
In XAML:
<igDP:XamDataPresenter Name="xamDataPresenter1" DataObject.SettingData="xamDataPresenter1_SettingData">
<igDP:XamDataPresenter.FieldLayoutSettings>
<igDP:FieldLayoutSettings AllowClipboardOperations="All" />
</igDP:XamDataPresenter.FieldLayoutSettings>
</igDP:XamDataPresenter>
In Visual Basic:
...
'The SettingData event is raised once per format that is being added to the clipboard
Private Sub xamDataPresenter1_SettingData(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DataObjectSettingDataEventArgs)
If e.Format = DataFormats.Html Then
e.CancelCommand()
End If
End Sub
...
In C#:
...
//The SettingData event is raised once per format that is being added to the clipboard
private void xamDataPresenter1_SettingData(object sender, DataObjectSettingDataEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Format == DataFormats.Html)
e.CancelCommand();
}
...
