Title: What difference between Paste method and CTRL+V
Post by: ldescamps on May 27, 2020, 10:33:37 pm

Hi all,
I don't understand the difference between the Paste method and CTRL+V :
- I have 4 columns and 10 rows in Excel
- CTRL+C : Copy to Clipboard
- Back to my web page with pqGrid and only CTRL+V is working ...
I have a button on my page that triggers pqGrid("paste") method but nothing happens.
I saw that difference with the pro version is paste feature ... Is that right ?
I tried to send CTRL+V with jQuery but not working too.
How can I handle this ? Many tries without success ... I guess something is missing or ?
Thank you for your precious help
Laurent

As the documentation of paste method says: It pastes the copied cells / rows within the grid or from one grid to another.

https://paramquery.com/api#method-paste

If cells are copied from outside the grid, then only Ctl-V can be used to paste them in grid due to browser security restrictions.

It's not possible to do with jQuery because it's not allowed by browsers.

Hi and thank you for your reply. This is a browser security restriction ? I supposed that but not sure... now it's confirmed !  :-\
So no workaround ? only CTRL+V to paste external clipboard content to grid ...
Thank's again and have a nice day. Any way pqGrid is an amazing tool !
