How to copy the datagrid on windows app?

Use case

I developed a Windows app using Flutter and implemented the syncfusion_flutter_datagrid package. Now I'm facing an issue: how can I copy the DataGrid? What should I do to handle this?
Thanks！！

Hi @roinheart ,

We do not have direct support for copying the SfDataGrid. However, we do provide workarounds to achieve this functionality.

• You can copy an individual cell value from the SfDataGrid using SelectableText. Kindly refer to the KB article below for further details.

KB - Copy the cell value

• You can copy entire cell values using SelectionArea. By setting SelectionArea as the parent of SfDataGrid, you can copy the entire cell content to the clipboard by dragging. To achieve this, you need to enable SfDataGrid.shrinkWrapRows to prevent row reuse during scrolling. However, please note that when using shrinkWrapRows, all rows are constructed during the initial loading.

Additionally, we provide a workaround to manually copy the entire grid’s content to the clipboard with a button click. The IconButton in the AppBar triggers the copyEntireGrid function when clicked. This function extracts both column headers and row data, formats them as tab-separated values, and copies the data to the clipboard using:

Clipboard.setData(ClipboardData(text: copiedData));

We have included a sample for reference. Kindly check it for further details.

• Sample : SfDataGrid.zip
