Copy/paste in datagrid pasting junk

I have a form with a datagrid containing 3 columns linked to an in memory
dataset. Only the 3rd column is editable.
Beneath that I have a rich text box bound to the same data as the 3rd column
and this is also editable.
The user can enter text in the column or rich text box.

If I press CTRL C in this datagrid column, followed by CTRL V to copy the
string to another record, I get a pile of junk pasted prior to the string i
copied
eg The contents of the field contain "QQQQQ". I select it, press CTRL C,
move down one record and press CTRL V and
get the following string "frmReportCentr eRO_0_1MA hours availableQQQQQ"
If I copy from the richtext box, pasting results in the expected string.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on please?

I have the selection mode set up to select the whole row. So CTRL C is
selecting the text across all fields in the row.
If this is default behaviour then I need to trap a copy shortcut message so
I can send the correct text to the clipboard.

Is there anyway of querying Windows to find out what the Copy shortcut key
combo is for that locale?

thanks

I was checking out the 101 C# Samples, specifically Windows Forms - Use the Clipboard. I took a look at the code for a while, and I understand what the program is doing with the cut, copy, pasting via the file menu events using the clipboard. However, what I don't get is how is the program able to produce a context menu in the textbox area. When right clicking, the context pops up and allows to cut/copy/paste/delete, etc.. But the thing is, I...

Hi, In a running C# app with a datagrid control I select all rows in the dataGrid using CTRL-A, I then paste into some other app like notepad or Word but the column headings get left off. Is there any way of including column headings when copying/pasting from a running datagrid to notepad? At this stage it looks like I have to write my own code but would rather not if someone knows how to do it.

Hello All, I¡¯m using a context menu associated with some pictureboxes to provide copy/paste functionality. Copying the image to the clipboard was easy. But pasting an image from the clipboard is proving to be more difficult. These pictureboxes are bound to an AccessDB. If the user wants to add an image, they select an image using an OpenFileDialog: Dim result As DialogResult = Pic_Sel.ShowDialog() If (result = DialogResult.OK) Then

Hi all, I have a form where we would like the user to input their email address twice, to ensure they've typed it correctly, as is found on most sign-ups I'm looking for a solution to the problem where a user (and me it has to be said) just either highlights the email address with their mouse (or Ctrl-A) and then Ctrl-C, Ctrl-P (or right-click copy, right-click paste) into the next field down.

I'm trying to code cut, copy, and paste in vb 2005 so that when the user clicks on a toolbar button, the cut/copy/paste will work with whatever textbox the cursor is current located in (I have about 20 textboxes on the form). Also to ensure that the button can't get used if the cursor isn't in a textbox field. And to ensure the contents of the clipboard are "text" contents that have been cut/copied from one of the textboxes on the form. ...

I've got an application that I can copy some text out of the RichTextBox control. I would like to keep the formatting so I'm able to copy it to the Clipboard with RTF formatting. I have no trouble pasting the formatted text into wordpad (which supports RTF formatting) but it won't paste into notepad (no RTF support). I know that if I copy something in wordpad with RTF formatting and then paste it into notepad the text will paste. What...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
