Hi,

I found this sample and got it working in one of my projects. However, when i try to paste in new rows at the bottom of my grid that allows new rows it just throws an error saying there are more rows to paste then exist in the grid. Is there a property I can set that will allow paste in the excel rows as new rows in the grid? If not can you think of a way around this problem?

Thanks a lot,

Jesse

Ramsey,

What is the error that you are getting in the error handler?  Are you able to paste the same content into the sample that I provided?

If there is a difference in behavior between your application and my sample, then there may be different properties set on the grid.  In my sample the only relevant properties that I have set are set in the InitializeLayout event handler:

void ultraGrid1_InitializeLayout(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.InitializeLayoutEventArgs e)
{
    e.Layout.Override.CellClickAction = CellClickAction.CellSelect;
    e.Layout.Override.AllowMultiCellOperations = AllowMultiCellOperation.All;

}

What happens if you set these same properties in your application?  If there is still a difference in behavior, let me know what else you have set and I can modify my sample and test again.  Alternatively if you have a sample that reproduces the issue, I could debug that.

Let me know if you have any questions with this matter.

I commented out any properties that were being set at runtime and then created the InitializeLayout handler and put those two lines of code in it to set the properties.

I still have empty sub declarations for the BeforePerformAction and for the Error handler. I have put breakpoints on each of the declarations so they will be hit regardless of what code might be in either of them. When I try to copy 7 rows to the new row at the bottom of the grid I get the following eventargs.ErrorText in the Error handler: 

"Error performing Paste operation. Further information: Contents being pasted have more rows than what's available starting from the anchor cell. Paste contents have 7 rows where as the available rows starting from the anchor cell are 1. "

I can cause the BeforePerformAction event to be raised by entering a Ctrl-End keystroke so I know the event handler is declared properly but I can not get to it by pasting too many rows into the grid.

Let me know how to do it and I will gladly send you all the code for the offending form.

Was there resolution to this issue?  I seem to be getting it as well.

Hi,

To what issue are you referring? There no issues described here, it's just a question. And the answer is yes. AllowMultiCellOperation allows you to copy and paste cells and/or rows in the grid. You can do this within the same grid, from one grid to another, from the grid to Excel and vice versa.

Hello,

I have followed the steps provided and I wasn't able to reproduce the behavior with the attached sample.  Are you able to reproduce the behavior with the attached sample?  If so, what are the exact steps that you took and what is the value of e.ErrorText in the Error event?

Let me know if you have any questions with this matter.

Hi Allan,

Thank you for your response. I think Ramsey has explained but I will recap.  Take the C# sample that comes with NetAdvantage 2010.3 and add the event handler for BeforeMultiCellOperation() by double clicking the event in the propeties window for the frmCutCopyPaste form. Add a breakpoint.  Then take the code you provide above for UltraGrid1_Error and replace the code in the sample. Set a breakpoint on the first line of code.  Run the sample app and and select multiple rows.  click Copy button.  Scroll down and highlight the last row aand click the Paste button.  You will notice that you hit the breakpoint in UltraGrid1_Error() first.  If you continue through your code you will notice that you never hit the breakpoint in BeforeMultiCellOperation().  So the question is how do we get past the error in order to add rows to the grid and paste the contents of the clipboard?

Hello,

I am still working with Ramsey regarding the pasting and adding the rows.  On my end I haven't yet seen a case where the Error event was fired first.   I have seen issues with the logic for adding rows where the rows wouldn't be added and then the error event would fire after that.  Do you have any example that shows the error event firing first that I could debug with?

Let me know if you have any questions with this matter.

Sorry, I was referring to the previous thread.  I am trying to paste multiple row into a grid.  Allen had posted some sample code that would parse the clipboard and add new rows. The problem is that the Grid error event seems to be thrown before the BeforeMultiCellOperation event ( where his code resides). He created case CAS-64104-5BFMPMP to help resolve the issue.  I seem to be seeing the same thing and wondered what the resolution was.
