AllowMultiCellProperty has everything relating to cells but not withrespect to rows.

AllowMultiCellOperation covers both cells and rows. The settings apply to both.

If you can't get it to work for rows, then it sounds like maybe your grid is not set up to allow row selection. Do you have the RowSelectors turned on? Is SelectTypeRow allowing row selection? What about CellClickAction?

Let me paste the code from my initialize layout of the grid.

  e.Layout.Override.RowSelectors = Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean.True
        e.Layout.Override.RowSelectorStyle = HeaderStyle.Default
        e.Layout.Override.CellClickAction = CellClickAction.RowSelect

 e.Layout.Override.AllowMultiCellOperations = AllowMultiCellOperation.All

Let me know

I didn't understand what do you mean by SelectTypeRow

I made it to work. It is working fine with ctrl+c and ctrl+v. But how come I can make it to work the same way using contextmenu cut/copy/paste....

Also one more problem is- when I am copying the row from one group and went into another group,click on a row and paste(ctrl+V)  it is actually replacing the row which i have selected in, instead of putting the row above or below the row.

How to make the paste operation, paste the row before or after the row in the second group instead of replacing the row.

This is the error I am getting when I am trying to cut 3 rows and paste them back in another group.

You could cancel the display of this error by handling the Error event of the grid.

When I am performing paste, as one of my cell is disabled, it is throwing this

error.I am still using the builtin cut,copy paste features of the grid,except that I am trying to create empty rows before performing the paste.

But I follow your suggestion of doing the operation on the dataset side and try to update it.

Hope it works.

Once again, I am not sure what you are asking.What does edit mode have to do with it?

If you want to add rows to the grid in code, then you can simply add them using the Add method on the Band, or else add the data directly to the data source. The grid does not have to be in edit mode for you to programmatically add rows to it.

I need some event which needs to hit before performing the actual cut and paste operation.

If any cell within the active row is disabled, it throws an error while copying. So how to get the selected row in edit mode before actually doing the cut operation.

I tried even BeforePerformAction event

If e.UltraGridAction = Cut then

e......

no property is there for setting the selected rows to be in edit mode.

Thanks. I want to copy rows from one group to another group not replacing any rows from the second group.

I have seen a event called BeforeMultiCellOperation.Over here when

e.operation = paste, I am trying to add empty rows first in the destination group and then continue pasting. But this event is not at all hitting and always I am getting the above error msg. But if I work with one row then it works fine, it is creating an empty row and then pasting the row in the newly created row.

Is  there any event that occur before actually trying to perform the paste operation so that I can avoid the above error? I mean any event of the grid which hits before showing the above error msg??
