Paste into dhtmlxGrid like it works in Spreadsheet

Hi All,

I’m looking for solution that will allow me to paste data from clipboard into grid simply by selecting any cell and pressing ctrl+v (or ctrl+insert).

I’ve tried Spreadsheets http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxSpreadsheet/index.shtml where it works exactly as I need (in IE, FF, Chrome). But I don’t need any advanced features of spreadsheet like functions, etc.
I need to set custom column names instead of (A,B,C,…). And I don’t want to use Spreadsheets server side. I would like to serialize whole grid and post it to my server.

I’ve checked grid documentation at http://docs.dhtmlx.com/doku.php?id=dhtmlxgrid:clipboard_operations and it doesn’t allow ctrl+v like spreadsheet.

What solution is closer to my requirements Grid or Spreadsheet?

Cheers,
Dalibor

I’ve found out that spreadsheet ctrl+v paste functionality is achieved with dhtmlxsh_buffer.js.
How difficult would it be to bring such functionality into grid?

My company is interested in purchasing professional licence if we get this working.

Thanks,
Dalibor

dhtmlxgrid can support copy-paste operations, it just requires a bit more code.
Check
dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dht … board.html

Unfortunately it is limited to FF and IE

Solution which is used in Spreadsheet works in all browsers, but it changes logic app-wide, affecting not only the grid, but other elements which will be on the same page, that is why it can’t be used in the dhtmlxGrid.
