Highlight and copy cell content without edit
« on: March 14, 2018, 09:56:07 pm »
Hello. I'm having UTA feedback, user wants to be able to highlight the content of a cell and copy it.

I know we can click on the cell, click Ctrl+C, and the content will be copied to the clipboard. But my user is not satisfied with that, they want to be able to highlight the text, and use Ctrl+C to copy-paste only the portion of content they want. For example, in the screenshot, they may want to just copy the date, without the hour.

I disabled edit in every column by default, but I tried to enable it again, so my user could highlight text and copy what they want. But they don't like the idea of being able to edit the content of the cell, because user can't actually change the data.

So, my user wants to be able to highlight a portion of the cell content, use Ctrl+C and copy to clipboard, without being able to edit the content of the cell.

Is there a way I can do this? I have been checking the API and haven't found a function or param to help me.
